In this brief commentary, the speaker questions whether they have an anxious, avoidant, or secure attachment style after reading the book Attached, which had previously suggested they might be avoidant. They describe themselves as a "no‑bullshit" individual who is actually good at relationships and reject the avoidant label. The speaker then shifts to broader relationship advice, emphasizing that no one should tolerate partners whose fundamental ways of operating clash with theirs. While compromise is acceptable to a point, the speaker argues that when one is constantly bending over backwards to meet another's demands, the appropriate response is to walk away.

Do you have an anxious, avoidant, or secure attachment style? I have been reading this book called Attached after somebody suggested that I might be an avoidant, and after reading this book, I'm not actually so sure about that. I think I'm more of a no bullshit kind of person, and that actually having been in relationships, long relationships in my life, I'm not avoidant. In fact, I'm really good at relationships. What I'm not good at is putting up with up with crap. And that's the same for anybody, really. None of us should put up with people that fundamentally have different ways of going about things that don't suit us. We're all up for compromising to a certain extent, but when you're bending over backwards to satisfy somebody's demands, then frankly, I think you should just walk away.
