That urge to cancel plans, shut down, ghost, or avoid hard conversations… isn’t random, it’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe.
✈️Flight response =
-Avoidance
-Overthinking instead of acting
-Leaving before things get uncomfortable
It usually starts in environments where emotions felt overwhelming or unsafe, so your brain learned tha distance = safety
The problem ❌
What once protected you… now keeps you disconnected from situations, people, and emotions
Save this if you’re working on not running when s**t gets hard🖤
