...trying to do ALL the things you can to create a connection with your partner
đ You're walking on eggshells, pushing down your needs so hard, saying 'yes' when you want to say no. It's like you're terrified one wrong move could end the relationship...
đ You've trying to be "perfect", say, text and do all the right things but it still doesn't seem to get you closer to what you want. How do you get your needs met without over-giving & sacrificing?
đ You focus on the gratitude stuff the therapist recommended but it's not working and you are more lonely and disconnected. Maybe you're doing it wrong?
đ You've tried the "I feel statements" till you're blue in the face, begged him for those morning texts, which work for all but three days. How do you express yourself without driving them away?
đ And while you desperately want your partner to change, be more open up and show up consistently, their hot-and-cold behaviour keeps you in a constant state of stress. You don't want to spend years in this emotional limbo - or worse, lose the connection altogether
Exhausting. Overwhelming. Draining.
You end up constantly trying to figure out whether it's you or them, having huge fights followed by days of radio silence and sending them vids of how they're emotionally unavailable. You had had such high dreams of your relationship. đĽş
It's not you. It's not your fault.
It's your attachment style running the show.Â
Your attachment style learned to react in certain waysâclinging, shutting down, avoiding, or over-givingâall in an effort to feel safe in relationships.
The problem isnât you. Itâs these unconscious patterns running the show.
But hereâs the truth:
đš When you take charge and heal your attachment patterns, your relationships transform.
đš When you learn how to show up securely, you create safety and stabilityânot just in your relationships, but within yourself.
đš You donât need to change who you areâyou just need to unlearn the patterns that are keeping you stuck.
And once you do that? Love stops feeling like an uphill battle.
