You're listening to On Attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience relationships

and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to overcome insecurity and build healthy, thriving relationships.

I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg,

and I'm really glad you're here.

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment. In today's episode, I am answering

one of the most frequently asked questions that I get, which is how do I know if someone

is avoidant or just not that into me? So I know that a lot of you listening will relate to this

question purely by virtue of how often I get asked. It really is something that I'm hearing

all the time from people. How can I figure out,

particularly in early dating, whether the way someone's behaving towards me, which might feel

sort of unclear or ambiguous or maybe not super interested, do I put that down to the fact

that they're not interested, or is there something more different

at play here that might be their attachment patterns, their avoidant attachment style?

How can I tell the difference and what do I do about it?

So that's what I'm going to be talking through today.

Before I dive into that, just want to share the featured review for today,

which is, this is the only podcast I wait for new episodes to be released every week. It's just that good.

Even when I don't think the episode's going to be related to me, I find a new way to apply it to

my life and be able to better understand the people around me. I recently started Stephanie's

Anxious Attachment course and it has flipped the way I experience relationships. I recently started Stephanie's anxious attachment course and it has

flipped the way I experience relationships. I can't thank Stephanie enough for this magical gift of a

podcast that came into my life just when I needed it. Thank you so much for that beautiful review.
