In this deep, psychological episode of You’re Probably Right, MCM breaks down the hidden world of the dismissive-avoidant attachment style — the people who want connection, but only on their terms.
Through real-life examples and quiet honesty, this episode explores how avoidant partners use politeness, physical distance, and “sorry” messages to regulate emotional closeness, why they appear calm when relationships end, and how their need for control quietly sabotages intimacy.
Whether you’re the one who pulls away or the one left wondering what went wrong, this episode will help you understand the emotional blueprint beneath the phrase “No Strings Attached.”
🎙️ Topics covered include:
The “sorry” reflex and breadcrumb communication
Touch and body memory in avoidant patterns
Why avoidants test safety through politeness
How calm goodbyes disarm avoidance
Compassion without contact — healing without hate
