Characteristics and Challenges of Attachment Avoidance in Adults

Though I assure you that, It may not cover everything that happens but It will surely cover most of the things

●Able to relate when there is a job to do, help to give, or a clear topic of
discussion. In a more informal social setting (e.g., lunchtime at work, a
party), may have great difficulty starting or maintaining a conversation
with others. Struggles with the small talk needed to start new
relationships.

●Difficulty asking for and receiving help from others, especially
emotional help to calm down when upset. When receiving help, may not
be gracious about it because it feels upsetting to need help, or alternately
may feel compelled to somehow pay it back.

●Obsessed with competence, feeling excessive pride when competent, and
unwarranted shame following failure.

●Often wants to share him/herself with others, but just doesn’t know how.

●Difficulty listening to others’ thoughts and feelings. Rushing to problem-
solve and give solutions before accurately understanding what their
experience and problem is.

●When thinking of childhood, thinks of relationships with parents as
generally good, but memories lack enough detail and depth to accurately
reflect the complexity of one’s history.

●In times of need, withdraws from others, feeling it burdensome or irritating if others want to help. This may leave one with too little support, while hurting those who want to help.

●In times of conflict, may really stiffen up and focus excessively on
proving that one is correct, focusing too little on mutually creating the
solutions and understandings of each other that finish the conflict and
sustain the relationship.

●May end fundamentally workable relationships too quickly.

●Given the lack of closeness in relationships, may focus excessively upon
work, tasks, goals, and material success, distractions that don’t solve the
loneliness.

●Loneliness is created most directly by the difficulty in letting others
know the details of one’s deeper thoughts and feelings (often not
consciously aware of those oneself), and the lack of closeness to self and
others which follows.
