You are such a beautiful person! I am currently dating a DA and anytime i look up information on his attachment style, all i read is heartless comments like -"run while you can". You approach DA's like they are real people, with big hearts who just get scared sometimes. It brings tears to my eyes to see how kind you speak about them. I'm a huge fan of yours and your content. Thanks!!

[@bernadettemeade7259]

Exactly Thais makes the DA or FA feel like human beings, on other sites we are vilified, demonized, called Narcissists. Couldn't comprehend calling an individual with Anxious attachment names or belittling them for their needs.

[@healthyhippy4282]

I agree . Unfortunately they were horribly traumatized as children to be the way they are . They are scared and they are just trying to protect themselves as they see best . To date a dismissive you need to understand were they are coming from .

[@yuristeaparty]

As a DA, this is really encouraging to read. Your empathy means a lot!

[@valentinanocross8677]

I am so on the fence if my last DA was so deeply shamed or as a overworked paramedic fireman is calloused over the ability to see i needed help, but rather preyed on my fresh divorce and language inability , but I think the answer is to stop thinking about that because that would equal my core AA wound , was I weak, and that would give me shame . He was still having sex with others .. which makes me follow the advice of runaway. I wonder if I will ever run into him and when I'm healed what he will look like and feel like to me. I look forward to the ability of discernment in this kind of situation

[@cameranserrano1263]

oliviapls Oh good! I wish I could give you a hug! It’s ok and nothing’s wrong with you! DA’s are just very easily misunderstood people. They protect their hearts cos they know what is important and worth protecting ☺️ Take care of yourself and don’t be afraid to be open with the people you care about so they don’t feel like you are pushing them away. The ones who don’t understand are the ones you don’t want in your life anyway

In this period of social distancing I've been constantly evolving, by myself and with the help of my therapist as well. I'm a FA and have been in relationships with DAs all my life, without realizing what was wrong, but knowing in my gut that something was not right. Thank you for shining light on a topic that is not very popular. Much love to everyone that is here to better themselves. 💕

[@ohnoeswhatsthat1335]

I just had an epiphany. As a child, my emotions were not recognized or taken care of. Before therapy, I had a lot of difficulty speaking up for myself and showing my emotions. I felt numb. After therapy I felt a lot more secure showing my emotions and actually learning how to feel it again. But I didn't understand one comment that my psychologist said. I can't remember the comment, but it had to do with something a friend said during an argument (she said; why are you always so sensitive, and she has said that quite a lot). What that friend said really hurt me because it showed to me that it was not safe around her to express my needs and emotions. I felt like she labeled speaking up for myself and expressing what I feel and think as a bad thing. But now, I realize that I also do that myself. I hate being called sensitive because children in my childhood always called me sensitive and I had a lot to deal with at the time. It became such a bad word for me. It's a trigger because I sometimes still think of it as a bad quality of myself. Although I do believe that expressing myself is good, I still feel such a strong dislike for the word sensitive. I need to re-evaluate that and give it a more positive meaning.

[@estherhaikkila9901]

I used to have a similar feeling about being called sensitive because I had a hard time expressing my needs and emotions. What I came to realize is that being "sensitive" is a wonderful trait! I can experience life to the fullest. I have the capacity to feel my emotions on a deep level and my life is more rich and fulfilling because of it. It's a gift and when I opt to feel my emotions, whatever comes up, i acknowledge and accept them and then release what I need to. The point is to feel and accept in order to process. That's worked for me and changed my attitude towards sensitivity. :) Hope that helps!

Use all this information to nourish yourself and find a healthy relationship in your future. And keep in mind that even secure individuals at some level in their lives experienced traumatic experiences. There are no angels or devilish individuals in this story. What exists is people that want to evolve and others that still have to walk through their lives and live more experiences to understand: "Ok, I need to change because I am suffering!".

[@heaviniswithin5049]

I cried listening to this because it was so on point as an FA. I feel like I am too intense and emotional and it's so hard to be truly vulnerable. I'm constantly Googling my mental 'symptoms' trying to work out what is wrong with me, trying to put labels, convincing myself I have X Y or Z thing wrong with me, googling all my trauma, every little thought pattern, convincing myself I have every mental neurosis that exists, and then I even shame myself for spending so much time thinking about myself and convince myself I'm a narcissist and surely too broken. It's really exhausting to feel you are so defective. And finding it so hard to make boundaries for yourself because you feel unworthy. The shame is so overwhelming. It's a long journey, this reparenting process. If anyone has any practical tips I would love to hear them

[@adamwood87]

Yup, "broken" is the exact word my FA used. What's so strange is she can verbalize that herself, yet if I ask her what she's doing to fix it, I get a "don't try to change me," as if I'm talking to a scolded child.

[@ildik9772]

I am also a FA and I went through what you shared so I thought I would share how I felt when this happened to me and it might help with your situation. (Disclaimer: This is just my own experience and your FA may feel differently) It is hard to feel broken and not know how to deal with it and also feel the pressure that you need to be fixed. I did also feel like I was broken, I knew that I needed to work hard on myself, but it hurt so much when my ex boyfriend asked what am I going to do about it because it meant that he has also seen that I am broken too. Sometimes that question translated to me as: “I acknowledge that you are problematic and I can’t accept you this way. You have to fix something asap.” (Even if he didn't mean it this way!) Even though I didn’t quiet accept myself, I just wanted to feel accepted by him, to feel like I am not that bad as I see myself. So maybe the question was too harsh on her too and it triggered her insecurities also. I would suggest maybe being a bit more sensitive, more attentive about the phrases you use, explain that you don’t necessary want to change her, but you just want to help her feel better about herself.

[@hshfyugaewfjkKS]

Adam there is nothing more painful to someone who feels broken and recognizes it but be unable to change it. (I used to tell myself that all the time when I started on my healing journey. I had such deep shame around telling myself I was broken). It may also touch on their issues from childhood. An ex was blamed for everything by his parents. So for a person whose parents already made them feel bad about themselves and that they already feel fundamentally flawed, it makes it that much more difficult to admit to oneself that maybe they have some things that need to be worked on. I'd encourage you to phrase the language differently in that you aren't asking her to change but to learn new skills for your relationship. You can also say that you would like to evolve together. That might change the perception for your partner. Maybe verbalize you fully accept where she's at and care about her and yet you believe you can have an even stronger relationship by evolving the coping skills she's created to keep herself safe.

[@nachogoatcheese1761]

Its difficult/unlikely one will fix something without the right tools. I'll end up hyper focused on trying to fix other stuff instead because I have/feel I have the tools for those things. Fixing this also means being willing and able to go look at that stuff thats imbedded subconsciously. That isn't ever easy but can be way way way harder depending what rooted it in the first place.

[@ptlc]

Idk if you’ll ever see this since I’m here 3 years later, Thais, but thank you so much for posting these videos. I’m an FA who was born with a chronic illness. From the day I could remember, I’ve always had people say to me, or about me (in my presence) that I can’t. I didn’t know that I’d built up a lot of shame around it, and I did so much to cope that I’d walk around people pleasing and detaching from emotional distress. They continue to do it today (though, much less to my face) and I’ve long taken to hiding and not connecting to others because I was afraid they’d all see how defective, & not good enough I really was. I unknowingly re-traumatize myself daily, and actually only recently begun to look at my difference as a blessing of sorts. I had no idea that doing this was actually something I should do when these negative feelings came up. These videos make me feel seen. I wish I could meet you and thank you in person from the bottom of my heart. But if I never get that opportunity, please know that I appreciate you sharing these so much. ❤

[@AozoraZz]

This is so on point. All my life I've always felt different/defective. Its also the excuse I use whenever i feel something for someone. Its like I dont want them to suffer from my presence. Also, I feel no one would love me for who I am, a broken mess. I really hate pretending someone i am not just so people will like me.

[@cameranserrano1263]

As someone in love with a DA, all i can say is be honest with the people closest to you. If you need space, just tell them that it's not about them and you care about them - you just need some time to yourself. You are so not defective, you just want to protect yourself which is normal.

[@AozoraZz]

Ao zora They will not suffer from your presence, they will suffer without it! They want you around cos they love your company. Plus everyone’s different. It’s ok to want some space. I think lots of hate DA’s get is from a lack of communication and people taking their behaviour as an insult. Be brave and honest with the ones you like. Those who don’t understand don’t deserve you anyway. I wish you all the best too!

This is all great, but at the end of the day, the DA needs to understand this stuff, not the partner. U can try ur best to comfort them, and tell them u like them for who they are, and there's nothing wrong with them, but the DA is always gonna feel like they're defective unless they can internalize the advice of healing their childhood wounds, and grow from there.

[@meerkattie]

How to break up with a DA (or an avoidant FA) without contributing to that core wound of being defective? I’m a FA who’s become a lot more secure in the past months thanks to your videos and your courses. I’ve learned to communicate my own needs and feelings better and my date reacts positively (though she never opens up about how she feels 😕) but still it’s always one step forward three steps back. I’m getting tired. I give her space and I’m in no hurry to define our relationship but it sucks that sometimes even suggesting something simple like a movie night feels like I’m asking too much. I care about her and I sympathise with her issues, but I’ve also learned to care about myself enough to know what I do and don’t want in a relationship and walking on eggshells is not that 😞

[@nachogoatcheese1761]

Don't worry about making that wound worse, you cant actually do that. At worst you pull the scabs off.

[@roshalllambert]

I can relate to everything you wrote. One step forward and three steps back. I’m in a similar situation. I don’t want to give up on her, but I can’t keep walking on eggshells and being afraid to ask her out on a date. 7 years in the relationship, but she changed and it’s now been about 18 months of this and I’m drained.

[@KorinMetz]

I am more DA than FA, but I feel my core wound is not that I'm defective, but that I'm unwanted. I have totally done the ignoring emotions thing though. It's put me in bad situations because I didn't acknowledge or express my own discomfort when it was necessary.

[@cameranserrano1263]

Believe me, you are wanted. Sometimes people are scared of their emotions too. and they don't show it. I have an anxious attachment style and i adored a DA once but was just too scared to show it. I think we both kid of liked each other but didn't show it. Miscommunication and misinterpretation is the problem i think, not that you are unwanted :)

[@honeymoney23]

Steps to reprogramming this belief: Where do I shame myself/treat myself like something is wrong with me? Replace that shame with Self-Acceptance. 2. Question the stories you have. Why is it ok to have flaws? Think of people who's flaws are loveable or beautiful. 3. Isolate what you believe/see as defective. Do you see your emotions as weak, shameful, etc? Where did you learn that? 4. Start meeting your own needs. Develop a relationship with yourself. Do reparenting work. Treat your core wounds as you would treat a small wounded child I needed this SO much! Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🤍🤍

[@michaeltripoli3799]

How can we meet our own needs? You can’t give what you don’t have. If we need something, we don’t have it. That’s why we need it. If you need an apple, you need it because you don’t have an apple. Isn’t it true that we do need other people? Aren’t there things we can get from other people that we can’t give to ourselves, like human contact, physical touch, affirmation from others, compassion, empathy, love from others, etc.? We can’t just love ourselves and have that be enough. If it were enough, these problems wouldn’t exist, right? What if we genuinely believe negative things about ourselves are true? Are we just supposed to use self-affirmations, like Stuart Smalley? I can’t do that. It feels ridiculous & insincere.

[@Window4503]

It sounds like what you’re looking for is objectivity to this whole thing. As a Christian, the truth about me-that I’m inherently valuable no matter what I or others think-rests in God. Because of him, I am worth something simply because I exist, and the same goes for others. I’m not sure how to give that assurance without God; that’s the only other party besides yourself (who is lacking what you need) and others (who aren’t giving you what you need).

[@sharmilagajria1053]

Yes DA people may be good as friends but in a relationship they can emotionally drain their partner and it is better to walk away. The man that I dated loved his late mother like she was a goddess but his spouse was a horrible woman who got him beaten up by goons. A few months into the relationship I discovered he is a DA. But the point is we all go through very bad phase in life. What we go through in life is probably not our fault but healing ourselves is totally our responsibility. By putting up wall all around yourself is not benefitting you. In the process you are driving away genuine people from your life as every relationship has a saturation point.

[@loriwhite8501]

Yes. I don't know how people ever have a relationship with a DA. The constant ghosting and pushing away is so painful. I had to walk away.

This video was the validation I needed. Literally the things I just heard on this video are the same things I had journaled from the past two days. Like practicing self acceptance. One of my main traits I shamed myself for is my introversion/ not wanting to stand out, hiding. I realised I was pushing/shaming myself to be more outgoing and open. But it was really hurting my growth because I was doing the same thing my mum did my entire childhood -criticise and punish me over the smallest mistakes which made me feel “defective” so I hide myself so no one can see that I’m flawed. Happens a lot at work. I realise when in relationships if the person is “clingy” it makes me anxious because I’m fearing they’ll find my unworthiness (a collection of things I’ve started to stop attributing to my unworthiness) and see there’s not much that makes me special enough to be worthy of partnership.

That was the core of my FA/DA. Even a year into the relationship she would look for validation I liked her. But the form it took wasn't usually "How MUCH do you like me?" but "Do you STILL like me?" and "Do you STILL want to be with me???" and when I'd answer "Of course I like you, I'm nuts about you and like you better every day I spend with you" her reply was ALWAYS astonishment (happy but astonished): "Reeeeallllllyyyyyy????" and I'd reply "How can you even ask, I'm crazy about you you must know that" to which she'd reply "Reeeeaaalllly?" and then say how happy she was and loved to hear it. But the core of the question was surprise that I still liked her not that I liked her. As if, by this time, I'd have discovered her real self and moved on (as I guess men did before). It was sort of heartbreaking.

Hey Thais, love your videos!! one thing that confuses me about stating my needs as an FA (in a relationship with a DA) is that my deepest need is just to be really seen/understood. when I think about concrete things like gifts, hugs/kisses, words of affirmation in trying times... much of that seems really hollow. I just want someone to "get me" in a way that I completely recognize is impossible. so up til now I've just been working on healing that need within myself instead of pinning that task on another...

[@skwerl81]

For FAs, often one of the main reasons we end up not feeling seen or understood is that we don't ALLOW ourselves to be - often trying to be 'perfect' or a certain way to please others, meanwhile not being our true selves. The remedy to wanting to feel seen and understood is to be our complete and vulnerable selves - easier said than done :)

I'm wondering this too, tho I think it's bc I'm a DA suffering from depression. Is one of the reasons why feel so tired so easily because we spend so much of our energy ignoring/repressing our feelings and hiding ourselves from being really seen?

The fear of doing it wrong/not getting it perfect can be draining or even like... Freezing.

DA here. I’ve sort of flipped this. I now think the world’s defective. Truly, profoundly screwed up. I just shrug my shoulders now and BUILD THAT WALL. I’m just so happy I had the common sense to never trust anyone.
