You've probably heard that going "No Contact" with your avoidant ex will magically bring them back. But the truth is-it won’t, and honestly, you shouldn’t want it to. Relying on “tricks” and “techniques” to make someone stay is not the answer. The only way to become the person a partner truly wants to be with is by moving on from the one who let you go.

Yes they are as bad people as people say. If they aren't bad people, what is your proof that they aren't? Secure people don't want to keep the relationship with avoidants because avoidants don't give what secures wants. Avoidants dont' want to keep the relationship with other avoidants because avoidants don't attract each other, they push away each other. So what's good left in avoidants. What type of attachment style can get along with avoidants? Is there any attachment style that I don't know?

I feel like no contact is kinda…. Counter productive with an avoidant.
NC works well on men but almost never with women.
I'd say you're right. Generally, women leave because the man is just not it, whereas men leave out of stupidity or immaturity, or straight ego. What do you think?
@@LordJayAndrew@LordJayAndrew I am sure most women have no sense at all. Also they are usually immoral and abusive. They dump easily the good men and love and live long with horrible ones. Drunks, drug addicts and criminals are very popular among women. And I am not talking about some stupid young chicks but I have the most horrible experiences with 40 and 50 plus yo women. They are just insane. No logic at all. Zero. My 75 yo mother is a total psychopath too. NC does not work with women bc they do not think, they do not care and they move on to another man to abuse.
@@marguskiis7711 I don’t know about this, man. I know that women can be unkind to men they perceive as weak, and the level of this behavior can vary based on the woman’s character. But this doesn’t necessarily make them abusive when you look closer at female nature and how they’re wired. The truth is, women need to feel safe, and when they don’t, they respond in very typical ways to indicate at their instinctual need for safety and security. ‘Abuse’ implies a lack of respect. Even toxic or immature women tend to treat men they respect fairly well. Poor behavior isn’t excusable, but it’s also not as black-and-white as we men might want it to be. I understand that women have a reputation for avoiding accountability, but accountability hasn’t been an instinctual requirement for women-obedience has. The modern woman has been taught that obedience to men is wrong, which has become a global issue. However, obedience still naturally shows up when a woman is in the presence of what her mind perceives as ‘strength.’ This ‘masculinity’ women find attractive manifests as: Competence Assertiveness Purpose Resistance to manipulation Drive and ambition Social respect or dominance Unwavering self-confidence Even humor-women want both security and fun, and a man who provides both in abundance will be seen as ‘top-tier,’ because humor implies intelligence, which translates to competence, which in turn, reads as masculine. Men who lack these qualities rarely experience women in the same way as ‘strong’ men do. When a woman spends significant time around a man she views as weak, her treatment of him will often reflect her lack of respect. But before we villainize this natural response, consider whether we, as men, act any differently toward women we perceive as unattractive or promiscuous. Something to remember: women don’t necessarily want a ‘good’ man-they want a ‘strong’ man. And ‘good’ doesn’t always mean ‘strong.’ A woman in the presence of a man she deems strong will naturally respond to him with respect, even if she’s immature or toxic, because otherwise, she risks losing access to him. I often see men complain about how women treat them, but many of these men seriously lack the traits that instinctively signal ‘strength’ to women. Additionally, a strong man wouldn’t find immature, conceited women attractive. The hard truth is we attract what we are. If I keep attracting immature, conceited women, then by implication, I’m likely a weak man, because toxic women seek out weaker men because they’re easier to manipulate. Similarly, a woman without decency can’t realistically hope to attract a strong man. We men need a level of accountability and honesty too. Maybe our struggles with women are the universe’s way of telling us we’re not yet the men we could be. Perhaps we should focus on growth, leveling up, and healing old patterns or wounds. What do you think?
Very well said my friend. You 've got a like and a subscription from me. Keep up the good work.
@@kylereese9462 I really appreciate that, thank you !!
True
I appreciate you for addressing this issue 🙏
@@teraedwards7835 let’s keep defending the DA . They don’t get enough support on the internet! 🤍🤍🤍
There's a reason you only have 7 "thumbs up". Mine has come back. Going "no contact" doesn't magically "bring them back". The truth is, there's a 70% chance they have no idea why they behave the the way they do. They have to *want* to heal, be cognizant of their attachment style or, at the very least, their behaviors, or simply, you have to be "worth it" enough for them (NOT in general; there's a difference) to return. It might be altruistic to announce "they'll never come back" so the majority of people (the 70%) have the opportunity to heal and move on, but just know, this is NOT accurate. But if you haven't done an immense amount of research, have the patience of a healed secure attachment style, and/or be willing to shoulder a LOT of emotional turmoil, you should move on. There are plenty of people out there that will love with you with a hell of a lot less effort.
@@teraedwards7835 that’s awesome that yours came back, and i hope the time apart sorted out the cause for you guys separating in the first place. People need to want to heal, I agree, and that takes accountability, something I mention in this video. Some don’t have an idea on why they behave the way they do, something I also agree with, but again, that’s why accountability is important. Until we can self reflect, no amount of no contact will result in a long term, healthy relationship, even if the ex does come back. Thank you for commenting, and sharing your experience and thoughts. You’re awesome!
@@LordJayAndrew love your response to this ❤
@@hazelmclardy8450 🤍🤍🤍
This video was awesome and one of the best i have seen i and i have seen like milion of them. Why? Because really it is better to MOVE ON. No matter if they come back or not. I don't even want her old version - her fatal lack of cummonication, stone walling, gaslighting, silent treatment is not accetable for me now. She will come back healed ENOUGH or BYE. Also because of your comment i gave him sub which i forgot to gave. He made very good video imo. And yes they come back sometimes but more importantly is to come back to you - to be you, once again.
@@haihai5293 🤍🤍🤍
True. He treats me like i'm invisible in real life. They never come back.
Interestingly, the avoidant will act like you're invisible, but he sees you. It''s the love you have to give that scares the avoidant. A secure attacher would welcome all you have to offer. When we move on and heal, we become secure, and therefore, attract secure. Thank you for commenting.
@@LordJayAndrew I asked him why he treats me like i'm invisible. He answerd me after 19 hours: this is how you think I act? After that he said that we are not compatibile. I told him to have a nice life. But in the last two months I sufered like crazy. It's been 10 days since i'm ok. We are LDR. I traveled 800 km to treat me like i'm invisible and he didn't even want to have a conversation în the last 3 weeks... F... him. Thank God that i'm ok. It's been such a long journey to be normal.
I’m sorry you had to go through that. Attachment styles make dating messy, but as long as you stick to the healing journey and focus on becoming securely attached, to learn and grow, you will eventually arrive at a place where you’re attracting the person who’s at the same level of healing as you.

@@LordJayAndrew He gave me heart reaction at one selfie that I posted. What does this means? One week ago he said we are not compatibile.
@@Lavinia-uz7ul it might be a genuine appreciation for the post, but it also could be a testing method to see if he can still have access to you whenever he wants. Remember, avoidant partners want all the validation an Anxious offers but because they don’t need to put in any effort. Anxious partners generally accept breadcrumbs. Don’t be that person. Don’t accept bare-minimum effort. You deserve full-blown commitment and devotion. Your inner child will try and convince you otherwise, but as you heal, you’ll start to find bare-minimum effort unattractive.
Thank you for this! It’s so true! He never came back!
Hi @trixtrix1767. It's not a nice feeling, but I hope you never forget that you're worth coming back to.
@@LordJayAndrew ❤️❤️❤️
Avoidants are the worst. Much worse than what most people say.
I don’t know. I don’t see them going on the i internet calling other people the worst, the way I see none-avoidant people do.
@@LordJayAndrew that's only because they never cared enough in the first place.
@@TheUnkindness avoidant people do care. They’re just disconnected from themselves. They don’t know how to be tapped into their feelings. They struggle just as much as we do. Accepting this shifts the focus from the hurt they caused towards peace within, because it tells our brain that we weren’t rejected because we’re unloveable, but because they can’t show up due to their own struggles.
@@LordJayAndrew No, they just go onto the internet to label anyone with a negative view of avoidants as anxious and excuse their behaviors and to tell others not to feel the way they do because they were neglected in childhood...while forgetting to mention they are likely to go on and neglect their own families...
No, reason being exactly what you said. They can decide how to show up when they are not triggered. They can change, but decide not to.
I think the perception of avoidants is just that most of the world isn’t an avoidant and their attachment tendencies seem completely alien to anxious and secures. Secures and anxious want the same things from relationships (albeit anxious take that too far), but avoidants fundamentally do NOT want the same things from a relationship: don’t want intimacy, closeness, reciprocation, mutuality, communication to work through disagreements. It is pretty mystifying that avoidants don’t have greater success with other avoidants.
@@rapthemusical very good points!!!!
Dude the amount of women talking about their exes claiming they had this (they are not diagnosed though btw) is insane. Honey maybe you just have shit taste in men and reaped those "rewards" lmao..
I broke up with my DA after 3 years of trying everything to make things work. I was the first woman he ever loved (his words) and I fell in love with him. He was 40 when we met, me 37. The first year we were the perfect couple and very happy then the DA tendencies started to come out… the constant flaw finding, withdrawing intimacy, the moodiness, silence when talking about the future… we then broke up because we just kept arguing. I went no contact and after one month he cane back promising me he will change and he did but not for long… lasted a few months. My friends and family started seeing how I was turning so anxious and that I was the one trying to please him just so he can be happy. They started to despise him and wanted me to leave as I went from a secure happy person to some anxious pushover. So I eventually had to end it and I did 6 months ago. What I am trying to say is that most DA’s are so broken that they can turn even the most secure person to become anxious and the issue is their tendencies can take a while to show up (mine one year) and by then you have already fallen in love. You really are missing the fact that a broken person can break someone who was never broken because of their past traumas. I left mine for good this time and I am slowly becoming myself again and only now realise that it was the DA that made me insecure because they always were themselves. My family and friends notice it too and are so happy! Most DA’s don’t work on themselves (mine would bury himself in work 24/7). I don’t think they are worth the pain of changing your whole outlook of what love should be and respect their ‘boundaries’. Avoiding love, intimacy and emotions should not be an acceptable boundary. If you find yourself in this situation, leave as it will just break you more and more every day.
Hi Suzie, first off, I’m sorry you went through that. And good for you for taking the stance of prioritising yourself. But I think you misunderstand this video. This video is not about encouraging people to stay in a relationship that makes them unhappy, but to, first: understand the DA struggles too, as a way of preventing bitterness to take root in us, and to help us find our centre after being triggered. Second, to recognise our tendency to avoid dealing with our own trauma. The DA shines a light on what we’re avoiding deep down. The DA has flaws, but those flaws arnt yours to solve. You are your responsibility.
@@LordJayAndrew thank you for your reply, I very much appreciate you taking the time to read my comment and reply. It’s very hard not to be bitter, I am holding so much anger in that I’m trying to release because he really broke me. I’ve always felt like a strong person but because of him I became so weak and I have never been with anyone who made me feel like that. I suffered so much, sacrificed so much for him and I’m still coming to terms with all I went through. It’s very difficult for me because I really loved him. Part of me still does but he just destroyed me. While I’m writing this to you, the tears won’t stop…. 😢
@@SuzieNewzie ah Suzie! Thank you for this comment. My heart goes out to you, and I wish I could be there with you in your pain. That anger you’re experiencing is seomthing I too have experienced, and I promise you, it won’t last. Please do me a favour and sit with that anger. Please process it. Allow your body to feel. Allow your body to release. To heal. Forgive him (when you can), and not because he deserves it, but because you deserve to be free, and strong, and tender and soft. We all love you!
We get in a relationship because they trick us for the first 6-12 months and then reveal their true colors after you've fallen for the mask.

They will strand you along forever,and than leave you and maybe start obsessing about someone else from their past… and than start obsessing about you again after some time and want you back. I feel for them ,but who has time,nerves and time to wait until they heal.
Typically yes... But how this impacts us is in our control. Thanks for commenting @novel5027.

@@coffeepot3123 I am a daughter of one. Watching my mom not getting love she deserves., and than he left her when she needed him. They can’t deal with big emotions and your needs. Why would you pick that person for a husband? You”ll probably end up sleeping in separate rooms,and any normal need you have as a partner will be put off until you learn not to ask for anything,as they can’t handle it. They avoid conflict at any cost and nothing gets resolved. Maybe they can heal with long therapy , but Why would you do that to yourself is the question.

All good points, id say if the avoidant is interested in healing their own stuff its worth a try.
@@n.tizzle323 absolutely!
Interesting perspective. While I agree no one is bad(anxious or avoidant) and people are just reacting out of triggers. I do feel like the solution is to fix yourself and find a secure partner. The % of individuals that are are willing to do this work is minuscule, particularly an avoidant who would avoid any emotional discomfort like the plague. Secure people are not attracted to any unhealthy type of person. It would be an immediate turn off. So if you’re still attracted to avoidant people then the solution is not to try make it work by walking on eggshells around their reactive behaviour. But to rather revaluate whether you are in fact as healed as you think. Staying with a toxic partner whether anxious or avoidant who is unable to see how their behaviour is a problem/them not wanting to AND doing the actual work will destroy any work you do on yourself. A healing anxious/avoidant can easily slip back if in an environment that is not good for them where their needs are not met or understood by their(secure) partner. Healing is learning that chemistry with someone does not equate compatibility and sometimes those “butterflies” are is fact just anxiety flaring up. Heal yourself( this is a continuous journey) and find someone who is able to support you on that journey and not trigger you into taking 10 steps back. As an anxious preoccupied with avoidant tendencies myself, I have learnt from experience, therapy and through studies that it is not my job to “fix” people or walk on eggshells to not trigger them because they are not doing the work. Like you said we are responsible for ourselves. Just as avoidants are for themselves. Yes everyone deserves love, but it is an individuals choice on how they treat that love and whether they lose it. A healed secure person will realize that they want a secure healthy relationship where they don’t need to fix or eggshell. We have one life and our purpose is not to be rehab centers for broken people who cannot or will not accept their behaviour and change. I understand your soft approach to a partner who is avoidant but it sounds a little like taking on all the blame and leaving the avoidant with none. I have been in a relationship with an extreme avoidant and spent the whole time avoiding triggering them, externally controlling any reaction from my side and trying to create a safe space for them to heal. Internally this just created extreme insecurity and anxiety for myself. It is not worth it. Long story short. Get your shit together and then find and cultivate a relationship with someone who has done the same ☺️. Most of this is my personal subjective opinion but I am also an HPCSA registered psychology professional with a special interest in social and relational psychology. Very cool video though J. And a lot of great points 🌸.
