The fire: a metaphor for dismissive avoidants in your life

Dismissive avoidants have difficulty handling closeness.

A metaphor comes to my mind:

A dismissive avoidant woman might want to stay in touch with you, but at a distance.

It is as if you are a fire, and she wants to keep somewhat near (due to the protection and warmth).

At the same time, she is afraid of coming too close and burning herself.
