Do you push people away...

Why Do Some People Push Others Away to Test Their Care

Pushing others away to see how much they care often stems from insecurity or fear of vulnerability. It can be a way to gauge genuine interest or emotional investment. Understanding this behavior helps improve relationships by promoting honest communication and trust instead of testing through distance.

don't really push people away to see if they care as much as because i've been burned so many time by so called "friends" and family members in the past.

i always go to the Nth degree to help those I love and care about. seems however, most of my actions either go unnoticed or unappreciated.

i've gotten to the point that i'm now concentrating more our my personal family and not wasting energy on those who are selfish. i believe
in helping others and giving. But there comes a time when you just have to suck it up and realize it's not worth the emotional drama.

it doesn't make any sense to push someone away to test if they care, imho. if they aren't showing it.... chances are.... they didn't care in the first place. if a person cares, no matter the sign, will show it in their own way. if you're being pushed away.... walk! you don't deserve to be manipulated....

i do it,when i care the most.Sometimes wondered why i do it but come to the conclusion that its just the way i work and if the person is fine with being pushed away then they where not worth while for me anyhow.
