Summary of 5 Attractive Habits That Make Avoidants Beg For Your Attention
Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques
- Stop Pursuing Avoidants:
Cease efforts to win back an avoidant partner. This allows them to reflect on their feelings without the pressure of engagement.
- Engage Their Subconscious:
Create scenarios that engage their subconscious mind, allowing true attachment feelings to surface. Activities could include:
- Solving complex puzzles
- Engaging in creative tasks (like painting or writing)
- Participating in escape rooms
- Understand Personality Types:
Recognize that avoidants may be attracted to specific personality types that respect their need for independence. Notable combinations include:
- INTJ (Introverted Intuitive Thinking Judging)
- INFJ (Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging)
- ISTP (Introverted Sensing Thinking Perceiving)
- ISFP (Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving)
- Pocket World Theory:
Avoidants often desire a relationship dynamic that allows for emotional distance without deep discussions. They prefer partners who can exist in a "pocket world" where emotional engagement is minimal.
- Sell What They Want, Provide What They Need:
Understand that avoidants may seek partners who mirror their independence. However, what they truly need is a secure partner. The challenge lies in the fact that secure individuals may not be interested in avoidants, creating a cycle of attraction based on attachment styles.
