@anxiouslyalej: If you’re dating a dismissive avoidant man in your 20s, hear me clearly. There will come a point where you stop begging for consistency and you finally let him find out what life feels like without your warmth, your effort, your softness, your presence. And that moment changes everything. A dismissive avoidant never realizes your value while he has unlimited access to you. He realizes it when the access is gone. He realizes it when your energy is no longer on demand. He realizes it when he can no longer soothe his ego with the idea that you’ll always be there. So if you’re asking yourself “When do I give up on a dismissive avoidant?” save this: When you’re the only one initiating. When every conversation feels like pulling teeth. When he shuts down instead of showing up. When your needs are treated like inconveniences. When you feel more anxious than adored. When respect is inconsistent. When you’ve communicated clearly… and nothing changes. Avoidant men don’t respond to pressure. They respond to absence, clarity, and the loss of access. And no woman ever regrets the day she stopped making excuses and started protecting her peace. #feminineenergy #walkaway #nocontactrule #datingforwomen #relationships
