[00:00:00]But, you know what a dismissive avoidant nightmare is? The anxious preoccupied person.

[00:00:04]>> Oh, I bet. Right. So, as we just talked about with the anxious preoccupied individuals, they are so much more needy with their um asks of nurturance, and they really need to be with you more often than probably the dismissive avoidant person wants to be with. And so, usually those relationships do not turn out well. Unfortunately, it kind of reinforces the more unhealthy parts of those attachment styles. You know, the preoccupied person becomes even more needy, and the avoidant person becomes more distant as a result of being in that interaction.
