Save these to your notes and make the decision now to send them when you get your first contact¶

Avoidants tend to return the moment you have fully detached, so prepare three boundary-setting texts in advance and decide now, from a regulated place, how you will respond.
Key points¶
- The exact moment your energy fully detaches from them is typically when they reappear.
- Three suggested texts to save: "I'm open to talking, but I'm not interested in repeating old patterns." / "I've taken time to grow, so I'm only interested in something intentional and consistent now." / "It's good to hear from you. What's different this time?"
- No "I miss you too" mirroring, no fluff -- straight business only.
- Sending from a regulated, healed place means their response (or non-response) will not destabilize you.
