I don’t know what dismissive means but I had a relationship with an avoidant person - it was draining and turned me into an anxious mess because they always blamed their nature to withdraw on me and something I was doing without realizing their patterns. Eventually they got therapy but the damage was already done to our relationship.

I get the draw. Makes you feel special to be the person who will make them want to change. But I don’t know if they ever really can and you will likely be the collateral damage.
