Just be direct and ask if being direct is a problem. If you make them feel safe talking I think that’s usually all someone needs.

@alceus Love your take on this. Real red flags don’t usually announce themselves. I guess the real question is what someone does with that self-awareness, whether it leads to growth or just becomes another excuse for the same patterns.

No, cause then you would be avoidant too. Attachment styles can change if the person works on it. He recognizes his and told you about it, that’s a big step

There’s a big difference between someone describing themselves and using it as a crutch, and describing themselves with the intent to change it. Be scrupulous about understanding what he intends to do with that information.

Knowing your attachment style and actively working on it are two different things.

@die staying away from people who tell you they have issues is not being avoidant, it's prioritising your own peace

@shinblue you see someone with issues and you stay away, i see someone with issues and try to help, maybe the person was just honest and is working on it, maybe talking about it is a way of asking for help or reaching out. Gotta have a little faith in humanity. That’s two takes on that and both are fine and can coexist
