Why do some people pull away when they get close or open up to someone they are dating ?
Thank You for your Question
People manage their feelings within relationships in different ways. People pull away sometimes through fear. Protection so they do not get hurt or stop repeating behaviour from the past.
They might not understand why they are feeling a certain way or how to communicate how they are feeling so they pull back to avoid getting hurt or hurting someone else.
Relationships can be complicated as it is two individuals with two different identities coming together.
We all have a past. some people express their emotions freely, whereas others are more guarded. Timing and being patient are key. Don’t push for answers as you might not like the answer you get back.
People will let you know how they are feeling but within their own time.
I hope that helps.
