Hi!
I think is kind of impossible to be 100% secure but I do think secure people deal with anxiety in a different way. Dismissives usuallys says they don’t feel anxiety, although some articles says they do have anxiety, the stress hormones is also on their body but they kind of suppress it and that’s why they have to deactivate.
I’m not even sure if sometimes I react because I’m irritated or feeling anxious. I like things to be clear in a relationship and if at some point my partner break a deal I can get really upset and I will fight about it until I get tired. But I’m never really afraid of loosing my partner at this moments.
When I was younger sometimes I could choose to shut down instead of telling what was making me upset but it’s not the way I choose to react anymore. I think because I would probably shut down for maybe some hours, max some days and would probably explode later so better to communicate from the start. I don’t “deactivate” by fear of intimacy or engulfment. Maybe I was thinking that I would get more calm if I ignored the problem for while but nope.
I’m not a person who is afraid to lose a partner, not if I don’t have reasons for that. The conflicts I had on mine relationships rarely made me afraid but those conflicts could still make me really upset sometimes.
How do you fee/react while triggered in relationships?

We are not 100% as youve seen my post my avoidant totally triggered me, Ive never been so anxious and Im no spring chicken! haha. I was very out of my element. Upon taking tests I have a chuck of DA I didnt even realize. Its more with family, AP types and when Im ready to be done with someone. And that ready to be done is after I have tried and tried and tried to fix it, I hit this breaking point and check out and go DA. I have to be pushed to get there.
I think we all have a bit of that though, we all break and ready to be done.
I like things clear as well. Im not afraid to lose either as I know I can find another. And the reality is we just dont fit everyone.
Im the get irritated/annoyed not anxious. Im with ya on not afraid but could get upset in my younger years, now my get upset is more chill as I understand conflict resolution now, Im very calm. I wasnt so much in my younger years. I may have deflected more or placed blame and now I take my own culpability.
