Few things are more confusing than dating or becoming friends with a Dismissive Avoidant. One moment they’re present, the next they’re distant, leaving you questioning yourself and the relationship. In this video, Thais Gibson reveals the 10 clearest signs of a Dismissive Avoidant, why these patterns form, and how you can recognize them early on.

You’ll see how their fear of vulnerability, discomfort with emotions, and tendency to withdraw aren’t about you—but about their own learned coping strategies. Most importantly, you’ll learn what these behaviors mean and how to protect your boundaries while still creating space for healthy connection.

You’ll learn:

✅ The #1 indicator of a Dismissive Avoidant: fear of vulnerability and openness
✅ Why constant distraction helps them avoid feelings
✅ How neglect in childhood shapes their sensitivity to criticism and conflict
✅ Why they often feel misunderstood and struggle to communicate their needs
✅ The hidden belief that they’re “not capable” of relationships—and how to reprogram it
✅ What sudden loss of feelings really means, and why it’s tied to fear, not rejection
✅ How reconditioning core wounds can help them move toward a secure attachment
