Anwar White explains how to manage feelings in dating by identifying your attachment style, anxious or avoidant. Look at your friendships for patterns, then move slowly in relationships if you tend toward anxious attachment to avoid emotional swings.
Butterfly said, how do you control your feelings? I've never dated because I'm so scared to get attached.
You got to know who you are. And I don't mean that in a cliche way because we have people who are.
Like, have a more anxious style.
Because.
You know, they didn't. They had love, it was taken away. They had love, they was taken away when they were growing up. And so they need the constant reassurance. If you are that girl.
Then you're going to actually have to go super slow. Anything fast. There's going to be too many up and downs and you're going to freak out. That's what I'm saying. You have to, like, know yourself. So you need to know, am I a bit more anxious? Am I avoidant? Meaning, like, I'm running away, I'm not engaging in an emotional way. And if you don't have the experience, then you need to look at your friendships to get a good sense of, like, what that is.
