This is a common pattern.
You’re not only wanting connection but craving it, and when it starts to feel real, your body reacts. Nothing is wrong, yet it feels unsafe.
This happens when your nervous system associates closeness with overwhelm, loss, or hurt. In response, it creates space not consciously but automatically. Healing this pattern isn’t about forcing yourself to stay. It’s about helping your body feel safe enough to remain open.
