Why You Push People Away When They Start Getting Too Close

Why do you push people away when you actually like them? You finally meet someone you genuinely connect with. They get closer. They show you they care. And suddenly… something inside you wants to run. You become distant. You stop replying as quickly. You start noticing everything that could go wrong. You convince yourself that maybe you never liked them that much. But what if the problem isn't the person? In this video, we explore the psychology behind fear of intimacy, emotional vulnerability, avoidant attachment, and self-sabotage in relationships. Why can you crave connection and still push it away? Sometimes, getting close to someone doesn't feel comforting. It feels dangerous. And understanding that reaction may be the first step toward breaking the pattern.
