Children with avoidant attachment learn to shut down their feelings at a very young age. Most create emotional space from people as a defensive measure—a way to avoid rejection or suffocation. As adults, women with avoidant attachment tend to be linear thinkers. Discussing emotions or feelings makes avoidant folks very nervous. This attachment style is often referred to as dismissive, because in the process of shutting down our own feelings, we struggle to relate to how others feel in a genuine way.
