Great conversation. I am an avoidant female and have spent nearly 40 years of my life being stone cold. I am doing the work of healing my traumas at the moment and I can tell you that being an avoidant is hard. You not only hurt others but yourself. I think working towards healing, and developing a secure attachment style will help us become resilient, love freely, avoid hurting others and basically build healthier relationships with ourselves and others. Keep up the good work.
Whew! I relate to that Ick part. I once went out with a guy who I wasn't really sure I was into and I remember we took a cab while changing locations. The man reached out to hold my hand, the intertwining hands thingy they do. When I tell you that I looked towards the window the WHOLE TIME, I was just wondering when we would get to where we were going. Safe to say that was the confirmation I needed.😂😂😂
I dont have a "lost and found" box, what I have is a "discard that sht" box. So I always make sure that for every gift I get I can equally afford it so that when we're done I trash it and if it's something I could really use, I replace it with my money after I burn yours.
Being an avoidant makes me feel like I'm missing out on the beauty of romantic relationships .....like yu know yu like this person but yu keep pushing them away..... And then when they finally leave.... It makes yu feel sooooooo baaaaadddddd
Story of my life. I treat what secure people would acknowledge to be healthy levels of communication as a sign of emotional neediness. As soon as we label the relationship I lose interest because I attach it with predictability. Every partner I have been with says I'm confusing. Been trying to heal but I keep falling back to my old habits to the point that I have almost given up. Funny how anxiously attached people envy us, they don't how we wish we had their vulnerability.
@@dorothykanana2623 sorry hon, you did the right thing. We pretend not to care but we really do. It's just that we don't believe in showing it or accepting unconditional love. Takes one to know one.
Context is very important when looking at these "signs" in the gentlemen's episode, a fair amount of it was given and that is why it was so impactful. This just felt like a list that was neither here nor there.
I look forward to your episodes every week....I would really love you ladies to do a video about fidelity in relationships and marriages; is it overrated? Is it a deal breaker? Do you forgive and forget? 😊
Avoidant here transitioning into the secure attachment style, I think it comes from being told that you are too much so you reduce and in contrast the anxious have been told they are not enough so they try to over compensate. For me when I'm into you I avoid pda, I never initiate communication, never call, never text and I leave no paper trail. I'm always ready to dip anytime, anywhere 365 days of the year. And if I stay around someone for too long like 2 nights I get an itch to leave, it's as though I have overstayed at a hotel. So I always make sure I have plans so that I don't morph into a person who wants to stay and chill and be vulnerable. In contrast when I'm not interested I will hold your hand in public, grind you at the club and call you pet names which is just weird and the opposite of what I should be doing cause I am not into this individual at all. I guess it's because if I don't like you there really isn't any risk of hurt and I also don't want to smother someone to a point that they leave or let them in and then the mystery is over and there's nothing more to learn or find. And the same goes with my other relationships and friendships. But as I said I'm transitioning into secure attachment, because aloofness and coldness does drive people away and I'm learning that people who like you and want you will feel loved and wanted if you show it and will reciprocate it while those who don't like, want or love you will feel smothered and suffocated and will go away anyway.
This one is awesome! But that one of bringing someone to your home doesn't apply to ladies with kids. You want to protect your kids until you are 100% certain they are there to stay....not necessarily because you're not into them.
I am an avoidant.Its tiring Jules and I would love to stop. Opportunities of a great love pass people like me by coz we are on defensive/protection mode through out. You are always protecting your heart. I think it would be nice to be vulnerable abit but avoidants appear very strong but inside we just on protection mode. Women like me won't keep checking on a man, we may not be touchy touchy or lovey dovey, we won't keep saying 'I love u' but at the same time we will be madly in love with the man. Its just nature coz i have tried being different but it was work and these love things should be natural coz u can only pretend or act for so long.So the man may think you not so into him and this could lead to a breakup coz men like the other girls who show vulnerability and are sweet and cheeky.
when am not really into someone : above having a financial conversation we just don't have a serious conversation, I don't talk about my personal stories, I just don't give him space in my life, I don't include him to my plans not even try to adjust ...............................................AM JUST LIKE LET'S DO THIS BUSINESS AND GO
thanks so much gorgeous ladies, i have learnt soooooo much !!!! i will be on the lookout for those signs beginning today! especially my government name😊😊😊
Thank you touching on attachment styles I've never thought on mine but after some research and a test found out I'm a fearful avoidant which really shed light on why i view relationships a certain way
While everything you beautiful girls have said is true, remember, some things are influenced by how a lady was brought up, and not doing them doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a sign she’s not into you. Everyone’s journey is different, but I think you’ll know as a guy if a lady isn’t into you. The one I agree with and think is global, is the communication bit. That’s a glaring sign that she ain’t into you. 😁
I agree.... esp the comment about eating..... hmmmm.... unless we're eating together or hooking up to eat, I never ask if he's eating and I get kinda irritated if he asks. Coz I just don't gerrit
Thank you ladies for an awesome video kama kawa. ❤️ I'm with you Julia: I'm a one-person-at-a-time thing and this is when I'm trying to teach myself to diversify and have options. It's so hard but oh well. 😁
I swear there are so many things you guys are mentioning and I can't believe it coz am like...I do that. This was an eye opener I feel like I just learnt so much about myself😂😂. Am not into all these niggas. Lit episode🔥
You'd sooner work towards being securely attached and working on boundary setting that avoidant. avoidant and anxious are both ends of the extremes secure is balanced.
Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah's ' Adventures from the bedrooms of African Women' blog is a really nice read and her book titled 'The sex lives of African Women' is worth a read. The book is not very well rounded, but I would definitely recommend!
This was such a fun video to watch! Wishing Shikie a quick recovery. I'd highly recommend 'Whoreible Decisions'. It's a podcast hosted by two black, bisexual women who talk about their sexual experiences and *everything* sex. I will say though it ain't for the faint-hearted - they do not mince their words or opinions. So if you are open-minded enough, check them out on UA-cam (you have to type out their name to find them) or any other podcast platform like Apple, Spotify, etc.
My big sis dragged me to watch u guys coz I said I love the free intimacy that comes with u know And here I am now I know why she tagged me in this one. Beautiful work beautiful work😍😍🤣🤣🤣
i love,love,love! over 25.big up gurls! you know there's a guy who asked how i manage to hear you guys,he says y'all are too hyper and noisy....lol.hana ubaya lakini,i tell him when things are lit,we let loose.# Great job.
This gets me thinking, the more I hear/learn about men and women I realise we are all the same😱we all experience same feelings and emotions(Will). So, this woman and men thing is more of a biological/ sexual organ/reproduction role difference thing rather than a "being" thing 🤔 loved this episode👌🏿👌🏿 P.S to anyone reading this remember you are awesome and remember to #bekind bless you!
100% TRUE, WHEN SHE'S NOT INTO YOU, SHE WILL LET YOU KNOW VERBALLY OR NON-VERBALLY! This is an imperfect world and that's why women & men have to do what they have to, which sometimes seems unfair and it's getting complicated day by day in this dating scene... because one needs to settle for what he/she wants despite hurting many people along the way! Most of us have been victims of this unfair world in one way or the other! The fact remains that life was not originally designed to span out this way, and once you start looking at life from an uncontaminated Biblical perspective and beyond life after death; then it will align you into true maturity in issues relationships + including all other spheres of life! I BELIEVE THERE ARE A FEW GOOD WOMEN & MEN WHO ARE GUIDED DIFFERENTLY ON MATTERS DATING/RELATIONSHIPS & WORKS FOR THEM! #BeDifferent
Guys I guess some humans have both the anxious and avoidant attachment styles...and just like the masculine and feminine sides of both men or women similarly the attachment style that downplays the other depends on the call for occasion..
Mrs. Gatabaki never dresses down. She's always shinning like the diamond she is.
😍😍
Ivy is here giving complements to everyone, ebu lets tell her how pretty her top is.
How about her face and that hair being a match made in beauty heaven
Yeeesss Ivy looks so gorgeouuussss
Literally the reason I clicked on the video,❤😍
Even her hair as usual has never disappointed
So freaking pretty!! 🥰
Inti-macy flashbacks will have you staring at nothing for ten minutes straight 😅 but I’m a virgin pls, y’all stay safe!
If you insist 😂😂

I just love how excited Ivy is😂😂
Me too

Ivy complimenting Lornzies creativity and empathizing with Julez by saying the best is coming….I love this! Women lifting women up!
I love th vulnerability of Ivy,I feel like she doesn’t really open up often
Jules hair is goals
The attire that Lornzie is 👌🏾
I am an avoidant!!! I can shut my emotions and ignore you like you never existed. Protects you from so much heartbreaks.
Ivy's energy is 🥰🥰🥰
she's the best ua-cam.com/video/pS3Cah-VdPo/v-deo.html
Not saying Ivy was in a bad place but she seems to be in a better place than she was for sometime and i love that for her❤️
im very happy yo see IVY laugh again.
I'm with lornzie, the word 'WE' personally scares me but I'm slowly learning to embrace it

Lornzie you're not the only one who had an issue with WE. I still do!!!

INTIMESSY is thee most correctest of terms.

Guys I guess some humans have both the anxious and avoidant attachment styles...and just like the masculine and feminine sides of both men or women similarly the attachment style that downplays the other depends on the call for occasion..
