Try Attached app for free now, stop overthinking Anxious-avoidant love feels like chasing and running at the same time. These journal prompts help you break the cycle from your relationship/marriage.
Maybe you love closeness and want to talk things through, but your partner always go quiet or pulls away. The more you reach out, the more they retreat, and the further they retreat, the more anxious and unsettled you feel.
This back-and-forth is the classic anxious-avoidant push-pull: one person fears losing connection, while the other fears being consumed by it.
These journal prompts help you explore how those patterns show up in your relationship, and how to break them.
Psychologists believe that writing things down helps process emotions. Journaling lets you face these emotions safely, leading to healing and growth.
Notice the cycle:
Explore your beliefs:
6. What do I believe about needing someone vs. being independent?
7. Do I see closeness as suffocating or as safety?
8. Do I equate distance with rejection or with freedom?
9. How do I define “healthy space” in a relationship?
10. What do I believe will happen if I show my true needs?
To level-up your shadow prompts, the Attached app has a personalized journal that analyzes your journal entries.
Dig into fear:
11. What do I fear most when my partner pulls away?
12. What do I fear most when my partner gets too close?
13. What memories from childhood echo this same cycle?
14. When have I mistaken intensity for love?
15. What role does shame play in my reactions?
Look at your patterns:
16. How do I try to control closeness or distance?
17. When do I give mixed signals?
18. Do I shut down to protect myself, or to punish?
19. Do I pursue to connect, or to calm my own fear?
20. What does “safety” feel like to me in love?
Reimagine connection:
21. What would balance look like between closeness and space?
22. How do I respond when someone is consistent and secure?
23. What do I need to feel grounded when conflict happens?
24. How can I ask for reassurance without over-relying on it?
25. How do I want to show up differently in my next cycle of love?

Attached is by far, one of the best apps making use of the advances in AI to make a customized approach to attending to ones emotional and mental needs. I'm glad I got to stumble upon Attached, and I'm sure anyone who reads will too.

It’s helped me process a lot of my emotions in a healthy manner. I’d say I’m in the best state of my life and it’s helped me identify a lot of key points. The AI is sincerely useful but more than that, the people are honest

I normally pay for a very expensive therapist. I was triggered and then spent the past hour talking to Eden. I was able to go deep. It’s an on demand therapist that would usually cost hundred of dollars an hour. Wow!
