Why don't you have closeness with anyone?🧍‍♂️------------🧍‍♀️

"Fearing intimacy and avoiding closeness in relationships is the norm for about 17% of adults in Western cultures."

As many readers understand, it can be crazy-making and even infuriating to feel dismissed and shut down when you try to get close to someone you love. If you are the avoidant person, you may feel equally confused by the unreasonable emotional demands and neurotic nature of the people you are in a relationship with. “What do these people want from me?” you might ask. You might be mystified by accusations that you don’t care and are not there for your loved ones…when you feel that you do care for them and love them greatly.

The good and the bad news is that this pattern is totally normal…but this doesn’t mean that it feels good to be in a relationship with someone who detaches and deactivates their emotions when things get heated. But it is important to understand that avoidance of intimacy does not necessarily mean someone doesn’t care. It usually isn’t even a conscious process. It is in large part a biological reaction that was ingrained in the structures of the central nervous system through certain parenting practices in childhood.
