Avoidant Stories

Some heartbreaks don't shatter you, they unravel you thread by thread, until you're forced to rebuild the parts of yourself you once gave away. "The Version of You I Never Met" is a "Tribrid" book, part memoir, part emotional guide, part psychological blueprint for anyone who has loved someone who couldn't love them back the way they deserved. Blending raw storytelling with attachment psychology, this book explores the very anatomy loving an avoidant partner, carrying emotional weight for two, surviving emotional absence and walking away from a bond you wanted to кеер. Through a story blood-stained with devotion, confusion, imbalance, heartbreak and clarity the author dissects the hidden patterns behind avoidance, the cost of loving someone who hasn't healed, and the quiet, almost celestial strength it takes to choose yourself when choosing them costs too much. Its not a story about blame it's a story about limits, healing, and the power of understanding the truth even when it hurts. If you've ever begged for clarity or felt invisible in the arms of someone you loved, this book will feel like finally being seen. If you're learning to trust again, it will remind you that healing is possible, and that some endings are actually beginnings in disguise. For the heartbroken, the healing, the emotionally attuned, and the lovers who have always loved too much. This book is your mirror, your medicine, and your metamorphosis. It will break you, then rebuild you. It will explain him, then return you to yourself. It will hurt - then then it will heal. "He loved you, just not in the way you needed. You loved him, just not in the way he could hold."

(A fanfiction about the Commander and Howe.) The description and title are still a work in progress as is the story. Once I finish this first draft I'll revise it later in a way that will improve the overall narrative. That means the story will initially be awkward but improve over time. I'm open to constructive feedback and ideas as we progress. Leave them in the comments if you have one, I'll see if it works. Enjoy :) The characters and story picture are not mine.

Sarah Lee writes stories for a living-emotional, sweeping romance arcs for a mobile game studio. But after a soul-shattering breakup and creative burnout, she's sent to a luxury leadership summit in Las Vegas in hopes of finding inspiration again. What she finds instead... is him. Callum Archer. Elusive billionaire. Cold, calculating owner of the casino resort hosting the summit. Their first encounter is a blur of danger, desire, and control-a night neither of them can forget. But Callum has secrets, and Sarah has wounds that never fully healed. What starts as a collision turns into a slow, aching spiral of longing, power, and vulnerability. From Vegas nights to New York shadows, from missed calls to stolen moments, they'll push each other to the brink. Again and again. He doesn't know how to love without control. She doesn't know how to stay without losing herself. This isn't a fairytale. This is the space between love and power, intimacy and fear, surrender and survival. And it will change them both.

This collection of poems is about experiencing the need to run away from every situation of life (relationships, places,...) and not being able to stay for too long. But also feeling alone by doing so and experiencing deep self-inflicted loneliness.

kamu ga salah, dia juga ga salah, tapi harapan kamu yang berlebihan.

Staying busy to avoid the slightest thought, sight, and feeling of you.

This isn't a love story. Not really. It's a story about what happens when an avoidant meets an anxious. About how closeness can feel like suffocation, and distance like rejection. About how two people keep holding on - until one no longer can.

They have been struggling for a while with many issues like self harm, eating disorders, depression, and overall bad mental health, but that needs to end‼️ I will update this story often

This poem explores the painful and complex dynamics of anxious and avoidant attachment. Through a deeply emotional and spiritual journey, the poem reflects on the internal struggle of a woman caught in the cycle of attachment, where love is mistaken for a need to feel validated, wanted, and complete. As she stands next to the person she once thought was her everything, she comes face to face with a heartbreaking realization-she's not truly in love with him, but with the illusion of what their relationship could have been. The poem captures the deep inner conflict she feels as she grapples with the pull to stay, despite knowing that this pattern of love is unhealthy and self-destructive. She is, at once, pulled by the comfort of familiarity and the painful truth that her true growth can only come from walking away. It's a journey of self-liberation, as she chooses to break free from the past versions of herself who chose toxic love over self-love. Ultimately, the poem is about the strength to let go of attachments that no longer serve her, and the quiet, painful wisdom that she must choose herself-no matter how difficult that decision is.

This is my poem about feeling introverted. Hope you like it :)

this is all about myself.

LOSING IDENTITY: Welcome To My Mind (part 1) That wasn't me. That wasn't me at all, I was wearing a mask, playing games, hoping to seem like a better person than I really was, making even more mistakes than I normally would, banishing all my dignity, my feelings and my high sensitivity along the way. The sensitive intuition. I saw so much but admitted so little and this was the result. I didn't like myself! I didn't care about the pain I was experiencing and just went on with my life, thinking that it would just pass somehow by itself, lying to myself that it was nothing, it didn't matter. Getting in touch with him again had become more important than my reality, my relationships, my bachelor thesis, everything. Little, very little did I understand the obsession under whose influence I did all that Google searching, asking people, ranting, overthinking and asking the ultimate question: "What exactly did I do wrong and how the hell do I fix it?" And I said to myself: "I WILL find out. I WILL fix this." On the outside, though, nobody noticed shit unless I decided to tell them myself. I took pride in it. And that's how I became a stalker, basically.

In the quiet spaces between heartbeats, truth lives. This deeply intimate collection of poetry captures the raw, unfiltered essence of emotion-love that bruises, grief that lingers, hope that flickers, and the quiet strength found in surviving it all. Each poem is a snapshot of the human experience of loving a girl with an avoidant attachment, written for anyone who's ever felt too much or not enough. This is for the ones who break and rebuild, who carry softness like armor, and who find beauty in their scars.
