Letting Go — For Good There comes a point when you simply have to drop the whole thing. The labels. The analysing.

Yes, I can see some of my unhealed avoidant friends still heading straight into emotional car crashes. Yes, I’ve watched people reject real love in favour of doormats or other avoidant partners, and yes
