I’m avoidant too but I’ve worked on being open and vulnerable and it has deepened my friendships. Some of my friendships were certainly made stronger by lockdown – definitely with the two women I ran with (when we were allowed to!) every week!

If you want more on the attachments topic, I recommend Attachments by Dr. Tim Clinton and Dr. Gary Sibcy. Dr. Clinton is president of the American Association of Christian Counselors and a faculty member of Liberty University. Very good reading and resource.

This is fascinating … I’m off to add this title to my TBR list.

Good stuff! Thanks.

LOL I’m happy to say that all my friendships did survive covid, although there were some definite hiccups as it was so much harder to connect with people. In that sense, a lot of things changed. Sadly, my relationship with a couple of family members suffered because they were of a very different mindset over the whole thing and were hateful and hostile about the differences of opinions. 🙁
