Separating the two people and avoiding the collective makes it\neasier to keep the relationship partners separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research study team from the University of California\nRiverside evaluated over 1,400 couples spanning 7 studies. They focused on the\naccessories of each pair and using the &#8220;we&#8221; pronoun. Their findings?\nIndividuals with an avoidant accessory style, suggesting those who have a hard\ntime to develop intimacy and trust, tend to use &#8220;I&#8221; and\n&#8220;you&#8221; more than &#8220;we&#8221; and &#8220;us.&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Will Dunlop, the lead scientist, states, &#8220;Anxious\nand avoidant accessory designs capture specific distinctions in the ways people\nthink, feel, and behave in romantic relationships.&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221; Given that those with higher levels of avoidant\naccessory were discovered to show lower levels of we-talk when explaining\nexperiences from their romantic lives, considering making use of we words (e.g.,\nus, ours) in the disclosure of previous romantic experiences may use a sign of\none&#8217;s avoidant tendencies. This is a reasonably unique and indirect way of\ndetermining avoidant accessory, as people are typically unaware of the pronouns\nthey use.&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So next time you&#8217;re talking to your significant other,\nlisten for both their language and your choice of pronouns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you making use of &#8220;we&#8221; when referring to your relationship?
