Whoa, Gatsby, where did you find that dismissive-avoidant thing?
Describes me to a T!

I will bring it to my C.

Except--when the bomb hit-ALL my defenses crumbled at once and cool detachment was not in the picture.

So being a dismissive-avoidant--this is a thing to know about oneself, and change if this behavior is causing difficulty in your life?

Sorry--I clearly haven't made much progress in C--I have mostly been weeping and processing--now it is time to look at the roots of me and see what's there.

Sorry for the thread-jack--this just caught my eye.
