Also, do you guys tend to miss your partners while distancing yourselves from them?
Avoidants, whenever you’re dealing with something, internally or externally, do you become distant with your partner even though it has nothing to do with them?

i’m not this way anymore but i would try to force myself to detach emotionally from them with the justification being they would be better off without my extra feelings

Absolutely but i would rather distance myself to keep my bad emotions to myself than burdening my partner. When i pull back, they know im going thru something and will support me without prying until im ready

As someone who uses to be very avoidant it depends. If they respected my need for space it wouldn’t take a lot of time before I would miss them. When they would demand that I give them attention I would get annoyed and not want them in my life at all. Not saying this was healthy but it’s the truth

May I ask how much space do you often take until you felt ready to talk about it? Like few days, weeks, and or months.
