I lean dismissive avoidant.

Sometimes, it doesn’t feel true because I dive deep into the underworld of my own psyche.

But when I feel someone is latching onto me from their wounded space, I want to flick them off. I get avoidant.

Help yourself! No one can save you, I had to and continue to save myself. You do too.

It’s not that I’m trying to be a bitch and I know this reaction is not helpful. But I have never had someone who I can cry to. No one has ever held space for my emotions, thus I don’t really know how to nurture the emotions of others.

I love to psycho analyze and figure out the depths and origins of emotions and wounds from an objective standpoint, but I simply can’t offer a nurturing ear at this point in my journey.

I am exploring myself deeply and I know I can meet others to that depth, but I need to build a level of compassion with myself so I can meet others with that compassion also.
