Absolutely a fair question — not personal at all. This is the discussion we’re having :)

These are all viable reasons for identifying as a “love avoidant.”

I am acknowledging my past. I am offering context for my viewpoints. I identify with a lot of what the avoidants feel, even as I work to become more secure.

Also, there are love addicts here, who often date love avoidants and are looking for answers. By identifying as one, I can hopefully shed some light from the other side.
