Has anyone ever heard of avoidant-dismissive attachment? If so, and you've been told that's your personality, or you are in involved in the human behavior realm, what do you do to overcome it?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Never been told that this is my problem, but I know that I have to own it to a degree. I try to take my time when I am thinking about different kinds of personal relationships (professional and platonic as well).
I know that my tendency to feel a little overwhelmed will have me take a kind of acute elliptical orbit around a party/workplace/clique that minimizes my interaction. I wouldn't go so far as to say I have overcome it so much as that I am aspiring to do so.

I was in a relationship with someone who had a very extreme case of that. The advice that I got from a psychiatrist friend of mine was to not attempt to pressure her into being closer than she needed to be. It was two instead be present to help her when she needed it, but not to be overbearing.

@nutrition_nerd I think that it can be overcome with friends/a relationship partner who is willing to help a person work through it. Their friends or partners would have to be aware of the situation and be willing to help overcome it by not necessarily calling them out, but letting them become aware that they are pulling away or becoming distant when They don’t mean to be.
