I need advice on dealing with an avoidant
Hi everyone. I do not now if this is the right sub to post in regarding this problem but many of you have helped me before and I appreciate the help.
Two years ago I dated a guy for a bit who I was genuinely obsessed with. I have never felt real "attraction' towards any man, and once I met him I immediately felt it. We only dated for a little while since he had to move very far away for his job. He ended things with me early in the summer of 2023.
I went full no-contact with him. I never reached out or texted him. In the spring of 2024 he texted me, and I responded. We went on a couple dates at the time. He was visiting my area again due to work, hence why we ended up seeing each other again. I was never fully over him, but seeing him again made me genuinely obsessed with him again. I felt such an intense connection to him.
He ended up visiting very recently and I still feel these emotions. However, since seeing him within the past few weeks, he has reached out to me less. I feel very hurt and sad and I have been ruminating that he either does not like me or I did something wrong. I have been crying every single day because I have such an intense connection with him, but it seems like he is avoiding me. I feel like once he experiences emotions about me, he tends to disconnect.
The past week I have mainly been sleeping and going to work. I am unable to do anything else. The idea of working out or leaving my bed is difficult. Has anyone ever been in a situation like this? How did you cope?
