In this vulnerable episode, Mike opens up about a real-life limerence experience, revealing what Dismissive Avoidant infatuation truly looks like from the inside. If you’ve ever wondered whether a Dismissive Avoidant is thinking about you more than they let on… this episode will give you clarity, compassion, and surprising insight. Today we’re diving into the 6 key signs a Dismissive Avoidant is secretly obsessed with you and why dismissive avoidants can experience deep limerence even when they appear emotionally distant. Mike shares a personal story of unexpected intense infatuation, how unmet needs and repressed traits triggered limerence, and the subtle ways Dismissive Avoidants try to connect without revealing too much. We also break down the psychology of limerence, why it hits so hard, and which attachment style tends to experience celebrity-crush limerence the most. Dismissive Avoidants do experience limerence, often intensely, but privately. Dismissive Avoidant limerence is usually triggered when someone reflects their deeply repressed traits or meets long-standing unmet needs such as acceptance, attunement, and emotional support. Signs of Dismissive Avoidant obsession often show up indirectly (liking all your posts, asking deep questions early, staring from a distance, subtle attempts to “bump into you”). Limerence becomes soothing for Dismissive Avoidants, a way to experience emotional intensity without vulnerability. Dismissive Avoidant women are the most likely group to develop strong celebrity-crush limerence. True connection requires moving from fantasy to authenticity and learning to meet your needs more directly. 👥 ABOUT THE HOSTS Thais Gibson is the founder of The Personal Development School and a leading expert in Attachment Theory and integrative emotional healing.
