“In family life, avoidants appear to have a high need for attention. This attention needs to be positive attention, even if they are silent. If expectations or demands are made, they will quickly withdraw.”
Dr. Sandra Smith-Hanen, Hiding In The Light: Understanding Avoidant Personality Disorder

“In their effort to avoid conflicts, they have avoided intimacy. They can feel numb to a spouse’s needs. Messages become jumbled and can eventually almost stop being taken in by the AVP.”
Dr. Sandra Smith-Hanen, Hiding In The Light: Understanding Avoidant Personality Disorder
