I dont think you can "unconsciously" lead on people and then dump them. Ml was fully aware what was he doing , and decided on what was best on his own without being considerate of the other. It is not in any way something to brag but to be shameful. I do think that you are just shy and trying to find something common with ml to relate but if you are just truly like him , you are an asshole ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Avoidant attachment is an insecure attachment style characterized by a deep-seated fear of intimacy, extreme self-sufficiency, and emotional distance. Rooted in childhood neglect or unresponsive caregiving, adults with this style avoid vulnerability, suppress emotions, and prioritize independence to avoid rejection or discomfort.
— no where did I say that it was a good thing, or that I’m trying to relate to MC ?? I’m not giving him grace or validating him but too downplay his actions as ‘leading’ on and not consider his actual trauma and usual actions portrayed then that’s just weird. No I am not shy and I have struggled with my own trauma and whatnot, again like I said, it’s not healthy but it can also be a conscious thing rooted from anxiety.

Me seeing the ML getting hate for something I anxiously do (not saying it as a flex or like it’s a good thing, but I relate to his struggles with avoidant attachment)
