Avoidant Partners Don't Need Space: Here's What They DO Need #avoidantattachment

Avoidant partners typically state they need space, defining it primarily as physical distance and time apart from their partner. This is often because they struggle to articulate their true needs effectively.

The real need of an avoidant partner is the emotional discipline necessary to experience greater personal freedom within the relationship. They seek emotional freedom, which allows them to be their authentic selves.

When avoidant partners experience emotional freedom, they actually desire to be closer to their partner. This is because they find it easier to be their authentic selves when they feel emotionally free in the relationship.
