It does nothing for me as an AP (anxious preoccupied attachment style), because im seriously moving on in a week or two if someone isnt talking to me. The only reason i want to talk after a breakup or fight is to resolve it quickly, and resolve the anger and hurt etc, move on from that, whether together or not. Not interested in waiting for someone for weeks or months.

Its black or white.

Ofcourse i care and have feelings dor them, but not talking to me at all makes it impossible for me to feel like the person cares about me enough to have a friendship or relationship with. It mostly seems like they care just about themself when choosing NC,ignoring, or blocking. Which makes those loving feelings will go away eventually on their own... Making NC a somewhat poor choice to use towards APs in my opinion, if someone actually wants to reconcile with their ex.

A great choice tho if you want an AP to have zero feelings or desire to be together or be friends.
