I was giving so much to a guy just for validation and love and it was manipulative and inauthentic. I liked him but the love I thought I felt for him was the love I needed for myself. The little girl in me, needed me and needed to be heard and not neglected by me. He kinda never mattered but was an excellent mirror to what I needed to have reflected and excavated. ❤
I just left a relationship with a person that just could NOT communicate or accept any kind of responsibility. That was so frustrating. Afterwards, I kept trying to figure out what went wrong and how someone could possibly think like this. I just started learning about attachment styles this year. I just cannot with avoidants. Now I am learning how to deal with my emotions and not let it affect my day. Easier said than done for sure but one step at a time!
OH MY GOD. Recently starting a new relationship for the first time in a couple years, thought I was a detached girly who was healed until I was tested! Turns out I’m still super anxiously attached and got triggered. This video was EVERYTHING I NEEDED today!! Thank you so much.
I once heard something from a doctor specialist in this topic she said ‘ attachment style is created in a relationship ( with the caregiver) , developed in relationship, and can only be changed in a relationship’ that one hit me so hard so I started working on mine while being in a relationship and it worked
Same! Single for 3 years, focused on all of my routines, health, and overall well being. I thought I was solid! I’m now in a relationship and back at square one but consistently working through this! Best of wishes!
What I love about Elicia is that there’s ALWAYS CONTENT, took a lil break from UA-cam now I can BINGE cuz she’s THAT girl 😴 lemme get back on my a game😵💫😴
This video is exactly what I needed. I just recently accepted that I have a pattern of falling into relationships with an anxious- avoidant attachment dynamic. I definitely have an anxious attachment style and I’m subconsciously attracted to avoidant men.
Things I'd LOVE to hear more about: - how to manifest and bring in a secure loving relationship. I've been single 24yrs nearly and naturally feel like all evidence in my love life shows I'm not chosen or good enough. E.g. My friends get approached by men but I. ever do, hence it reinforces my past self beliefs. I personally have a disorganised attachment style as well - finding your own hobbies (esp overcoming laziness and actually getting myself out of my house in order to even do this) - how to actually rest? my default is to journal or just watch TV which (TV) doesn't always help lots of love 💕💕
I kept looking at the thumbnail and really didnt want to watxh this video. But my goodness im glad im watching it. I really needed to hesr the part where the attention you put on others should be put on you. Wow❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for this message.
23:31 This is the video is what I needed , I was in a Situationship for 13 year. The whole 13 years he would future fake with me and give me all these excuses why we couldn’t be together then he will discard me when he finds somebody else and gets into a relationship and block me and when that relationship ended, he will come back to me and future fake with me playing in my face and all this stuff. I allow him to do this to me for 13 years Last year out nowhere I just blocked him and then this year he randomly message me, I didn’t message back, but I felt bad because I know how horrible it is to be ghosted because he’s done that to me for years where I would be block for years while he’s in a relationship and then he’ll come right back , but you have a valid point I should be allowed to do it to him. Over the year when I would try to end it I would spent time explaining to why this was not healthy for me and I would let him get in my ears and be right back this time just block and I feel so freeing
I never knew you before this video. THANK YOU for covering this topic of “not bothering with avoidant people”. At this point in life even while watching the video I am so “drained” of my whole dynamic. Everyone in my family and even my bf are very avoidant and me being the person with anxious attachment I always am left feeling so weird.
Sis I’m so grateful for your presence in the world/my life !!! I’m going through a crazy metamorphosis 🦋in life and your content has been the best supplement along with my personal care village to really assist with my healing and evolution thank you for being apart of that 🤍🤍🤍 Peace and so many Blessings to you !!!
This video is EXACTLY what I needed Thank you❤ (My fiancé and I are forced to do long distance for a while and my anxious attachment patterns unfortunately have been stronger than ever😟)
I am so so happy that you made a podcast. I resonate with your content so much more with this format!! I needed to hear every single thing you said in this video. I’ve been doing shadow work to overcome my anxious attachment style and this just reaffirmed me so much. Thank you girly🩷
I love you! I dont think you understand how much I needed to see this, I literally came on UA-cam to find a video on these exact topics & this came up on the main page before I even typed anything in! It was meant to be! You are a blessing & so amazing at what you do!
Im at the 5:11 mark and all thats popping up into my head is that i need to leave my bd & just move back home & start over. Im tired of having to put myself last all the time.
I love listening to you speak everyday!!! I feel soo focused and content ❤ You speak life in me ❤ I have been hitting all my daily goals since I started listening to 🎉It’s all about mindset honestly
challenge the stories you tell yourself in your "fall" and realize that you've been playing out a made up story to make sense of that fall. well, you can now reframe it into a more favorable one. thanks for the reminder!
been struggling a lot with anxious attachment in friendships these days, and your videos always help me and make me feel seen and understood. i've been listening to your podcast non-stop. thank you so much, and here's a huge hug for us all 🫂💖
Hey Gorgeous! I love that you never stop preaching about Self worth, self respect & relationship with self and others.. When ever slip up again, I just come back to watch your new videos. It really speaks to me and help me every time. I think sometimes when you finally learned a lesson, you get tired of it & don't really relate to people who still struggle with it anymore but I am extremally grateful that you still care and very passionate about these things. I hope I don't have to keep coming back to these videos HAHAH! but just know that you're really helping and changing people's life out here. So thank you, I hope the universe surprises you with many gifts
She has served again 🥰 coupled things that resonated -certain toxic creators and their similar supporter base -the crappy automated belief system that I , and other surely face . I kinda see it as autopilot. As soon as something slightly unfavorable or ambiguous occurs it automatically goes to “it’s because you’re dumb, you are bad , etc” not only relationships but in job searching … almost like a inner villain . -these stories often become intensified from social media and society like you said thanks for these :) keeps me so grounded and back to a more calm motivated state
I’m a Pisces & I love that your content actually workssssssss for me. A lot of content & tips are very basic & obvious to me but , this?? every-time you speak I be like OKK! 📝 📝 📝 it makes me comfortable diving more into myself without feeling scared! Finding your page will guide me through the remainder of my foundational remolding this year, truly making sure all my cracks & crevices are cleaned before I step back out into the world🩷
GIRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ! you are me up this whole video😭 definitely subscribed ! i needed this so so so bad ! thank you 🥺🥺i need to work on my anxious attachment
The way this was EVERYTHING I needed in this very moment. Idk how this wound up as something i needed to view but omg, I’m SO glad it did. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤
i thank you for releasing this video & i thank myself for coming across you! u clocked my tea real bad lollll but i appreciate it. you have a new subscriber 💞
This was a great video, literally have listened to it 6x over the last week. Thank you, I needed to hear all of this and is really helping me change some things in my life
Wow thank you Elicia. The way you put things really resonates and is so helpful in my period of reflection. I’ve been working at this for years and I’m so proud of how I’m improving and we’re all improving ❤️
Pls make more videoes about this and thank you. U can't imagine how much u helped me i was going through it i didn't get a text back but instead of letting him go i over texted him
How do we spot avoidant people early? My avoidant partner of 7 months was emotional available, a good listener,at home, attentive, blah blah blah until around the 5 month mark. Slowly things started changing. Then only I needed to communicate and sort things out with him. He started going into his "fantasy world" more by watching hours of sport and movies. Did the bare minimum around the house. Playing hours of golf more than usual... He would peak as my partner and then drop again for a while. By the 2nd time he left home for a few days after an argument (breakup), I didn't approach him like I always did to talk about the issues at hand. He actually became very childish in serious adult conversations, about a week before we broke up. He had many other stresses too for about a month before. I would never have guessed he was a DA the first few months (although there were prob baby signs, but I was also not aware of DA behaviour so much). Even knowing what I know now, it would be difficult to spot a DA like him in the beginning. How on this green planet to do I spot these people in future? This was a painful, terrible experience. I focus a lot on myself now, educating myself, getting out, resting etc. I had strong boundaries, have a good sense of my values and what I want. Didn't have much of a life outside of him (my fault).
Have you done a episode on how to be patient with yourself , I see you know the self awareness thing and knowing what needs to happen. Have you spent a whole episode just on that element of patience through the process
lol mine is too, I’ve just struggled through a lot of my early 20s anxious leaning because of the people I would date but underneath it’s also fearful avoidant so yes, I feel you💀😭
“Please stop seeking safety within an avoidant person” 👏🏻👏🏻 that is such a good way to put it
My favorite quote from this video! Whew!
I was giving so much to a guy just for validation and love and it was manipulative and inauthentic. I liked him but the love I thought I felt for him was the love I needed for myself. The little girl in me, needed me and needed to be heard and not neglected by me. He kinda never mattered but was an excellent mirror to what I needed to have reflected and excavated. ❤
this comment...... wow omg..... literally felt i unlocked some sort of answer i had been searching for for so long
@@user-ef4de6ds6f ❤ SAME!! ❤
“The love I thought I felt for him was the love I needed for myself” I felt that in my SOUL 🤦🏻♀️😯 thank you.
Beautifully said, @tifftreads ! Wow, I felt that. You're like the word goddess rn. ❤️ 💯
I felt this so deeply
I just left a relationship with a person that just could NOT communicate or accept any kind of responsibility. That was so frustrating.

Just went through a really bad breakup with an avoidant person.. thank you so much for this
Me too 😢
I'm a 22 year old man that never knew this was exactly what i needed to hear and get drilled in my head
18:41 “shoutout to the avoidant men. you guys are so stoic.” i cackled
your podcast gives me life💛
It’s so funny and interesting bc the person I think of on the topic off this video said he like to practice stoicism 🥲🥴😭
I’m a guy but I’m still supporting ❤
“Be the change you wish to see” 💗
This video is exactly what I needed. I just recently accepted that I have a pattern of falling into relationships with an anxious- avoidant attachment dynamic. I definitely have an anxious attachment style and I’m subconsciously attracted to avoidant men.
