Anxious/Avoidant Trap versus Co-operation

Ok, considered ​latest events in the world (war in Ukraine) and still being in the search of my perfect lion image for FA attachment style, this entry will have bit another but related topic. We still need to go on even, if in lower amounts of the deal that we swore to keep caring for in this way we CERTAINLY will conquer this deadly⚔️horsemen AGAIN and again and again✌️ 

Usually insecure relationship feels like a trap, as if you would be tricked into some net you can't go out from... And you might blame one another for this or think some theories, although it is simply known as an Anxious/Avoidant trap in attachment style theory.
This trap exist between avoidants (dismissive avoidants DA - tinman people and fearful avoidants FA - lion people) and anxious attachment style AA (scarecrow people). Avoidants have a tendency to close up and withdraw, ghost, block, leave the bond asap, anxious attachments have tendency to run after someone, convince and try to fight them back no matter what. As you can see in the picture bellow the trap activates, when there is a treat for surviving, realistic or not, those triggers from before - from the childhood are alive... 
So... because some people wanted to see some same sex couples :D and we have here a possibility to play that scenario, let's take a Tinman (DA)🤖and a Scarecrow (AA)🎃for this instance. What would happened between these two is somewhat like going in waves of:
Honeymoon - Comfort zone & Stormy time - Danger zone in the diagram 

When the Tinman and a Scarecrow have a good, honey times all is ok and splendid, even most probably somewhat too good to be truth and simply over the sky :P But then something might trigger one or the other they start a time of conflicts. These two phases never ends and repeats on and on, and it is exhausting and also addictive, so people might stay in it but will eventually be unhappy or they might end it sooner or later. Examples of conflict times triggers:

1. Number 1 SCENARIO: Tinman got promoted or was evaluated higher at their job and be all shinny and communicative and that triggered Scarecrow to think they will be abandoned because Tinman would want to find somebody better there or will focus on their new position and will forget their connection and detach, this means a threat of being left alone, abandoned.
2. Number 2 SCENARIO: Scarecrow finally finds their perfect adventure opportunity to explore and also get more near their life goals through that and as usual their adventure might involve some danger and challenges and this for the Tinman means that they will most probably be worrying and living in fear too much, will need to provide emotional support for their partner that will exceed their limits, will need to provide another things while not catching up with their own life.

Result in SCENARIO 1: Scarecrow because of already appearing in surviving state would try to create drama or push themselves in some dramatic scenario. They might take a step to do important but risky things that are scary to them, so they would have a "legal" reason get emotional and to demand attention: show their heart and that they don't feel ok... Tinman would definitely reject it, since he (or she) would not grasp, why their partner is acting so egoistic and isn't happy and scared about their success instead of being joyful and also catching up with them in their own ways and that would instantly close them down, meaning, the Tinman person would end relationship in this scenario and withdraw or at least will set it on a pause. Scarecrow would become desperate because that's exactly, what their feared the most and they will try to get Tinman back simply because their relationships trauma tells them so. Tinman would probably never see their Scarecrow as peaceful, not violent human being anymore ever again... not like completely but it would already be a life time (very long time) issue.
Result in SCENARIO 2: Tinman because of fear and despair of seeing very hard future would be acting very capricious and push unrealistic blame and demands on the Scarecrow in this way creating the image for a Scarecrow to  help them to see, they are disappointed and seriously upset. Scarecrow on the other hand would feel they won't ever reach those demands and never understand egoistic capriciousness of the Tinman and that would tell them they will be left, abandoned. If you can't satisfy your partner, they would just leave and find someone, who can, right? So Scarecrow most probably will find somebody instead first as an affair to find relief to not feel this threat anymore, since they wasn't doing anything wrong to a Tinman and just wished their participation in his/her new adventure/excitement, so they would not understand this toxic, manipulative behaviour of their Tinman partner. Tinman would see this all and will be convinced he will be damaged in the unimaginable ways and will withdraw, block, just end it and never come back to it (because their relationship trauma looks exactly like this). Leaving a Scarecrow to be completely broken in their new adventure and wishing the Tinman to come back for the rest of their life... well, for long :) really long time.

You can see that kind of story in the short sci-fi movie ROBOT & SCARECROW 🎥, where is exactly shown, how people mistreated the robot and how scarecrow is totally abandoned by them at the start and how it all ends up, no matter how both - scarecrow and a robot (aka tinman) are trying to be ok. Just an another reminder to know that you can get your attachments with people to be more secure.
