🚩 Avoidant OR Just Not Into You? How to Know If an Avoidant Likes You | Anxious Attachment Relationship Advice
Is your partner emotionally distant... or just not that into you? 😳 If you're anxiously attached, this question can spiral you FAST.
💭 “Are they avoidant and scared of intimacy—or are they just not interested?”
In this episode, I'm breaking down the 4 CLEAR SIGNS so you can finally stop second-guessing:
✨ How avoidants show love—even if it's NOT in your love language ✨ What happens when you stop chasing (spoiler: this is BIG) ✨ How they respond to your needs vs. ignore them completely ✨ Whether they show growth over time—or stay stuck
🎯 By the end, you'll know if your partner is avoidant attached or just emotionally unavailable.
💡 Perfect for anyone with relationship anxiety, anxious attachment, or feeling confused by hot & cold behavior in love.
▶️ LISTEN if you’ve ever thought:
“They say they need space… but do they even want me?”
“I stopped overgiving, and now they’ve vanished.”
“They used to try—now it feels like I’m the only one showing up.”
🖤 BONUS: I share what changed everything in my relationship with my avoidant partner—and the mindset that helped me go from spiraling to SECURE.
