Why Avoidants Never FIGHT for You Use The Soft Contact Method | Megan Weks

When an avoidant partner watches you leave without a fight, it's not indifference. It's a psychological freeze response rooted in deep fear. This video breaks down the intense internal panic an avoidant person experiences as you walk away and explains why traditional confrontation, ultimatums, and emotional pleas always fail—and often push them further away.

We delve into the counterintuitive strategy of "Soft Contact": a gentle, non-demanding form of communication that is the only approach with a chance of penetrating their defenses. Learn what it is, what it isn't, and how to implement it effectively.

More importantly, we discuss when even soft contact fails, and how to find the strength to accept that someone's inability to fight for you is the clearest information you will ever receive about their capacity for a healthy relationship.
