How do you approach someone with avoidance and intimacy issues?

Answer by  smoon (46)

People with avoidance or intimacy issues are very fearful of their space as well as being rejected. You want to approach this person in a positive manner as to not put them on the defensive. You should always leave enough space between the two of you

You do this slowly and with much patience. Do not get frustrated with them or you will find yourself further apart. You must be willing to spend time talking alot.

I would first go to them with a topic or question that is open-ended. Then I would go into the topic using "I" instead of "you".
