Avoidant attachment is one of the four attachment styles that can present in a person that affects their view of self and others.  

       1. How it happens or what it looks like in a relationship
2. What someone with avoidant attachment feels when someone tries to get too close
3. How to help them out of their shell and not take it personally 

Mind Renewal Tip:
Avoidant attachment is something that is meant to be personal to others. It’s a coping mechanism developed to protect the person from stress.  

Scripture Renewal Tip:
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1
