This is What Avoidant People Wish You Knew
You want to let people in—truly, you do—but every time closeness feels too real, something inside whispers, be careful.

It’s not coldness; it’s self-protection shaped by fear of rejection, past wounds, and emotions that sometimes feel too big to carry. This video unpacks what avoidant people wish you knew—how their quiet push-pull dance is really a fight to feel safe and loved at the same time. If you’ve ever felt torn between wanting love and needing distance, what’s one thing you wish others could understand about you?More on avoidant personality: https://youtu.be/fFNA4De2mAc?si=Fv2193VaqbcCgXB5
