Why am I anxious in romantic relationships but very dismissive and avoidant in friendships and family relationships?

Because romance is new exciting an you want it it makes you become alive Everything else is old and boring. They're all stuck in time. And you don't want that you want to live and feel and explore experience.

I’ve been in the same committed relationship with my Partner for years now and never been dismissive and avoidant towards him.

It's reflective of the way those relationships have been modeled for you earlier in life.

You're anxious in love because you saw instability and insecurity growing up. You're dismissive of friendships and family because being cold was a protection mechanism.

This feels like a PM issue, if you wish. With me or someone else you trust. I don't think you will receive anything useful in open forum.
