Do you RUN..? HIDE ? Withdraw ? Escape ?

Why Do People Run or Withdraw When Facing Fear or Love

Running or withdrawing is a common response to fear or emotional overwhelm. It helps protect you from feeling vulnerable or overwhelmed by intense emotions like love or anxiety. Recognizing this pattern can help you develop healthier ways to cope and build stronger relationships.

I don't think I'm scared of falling in love. I haven't been disappointed in my choices yet (there's still time), so I say bring it on. Maybe because I take my time and choose who to fall in love with. I think it's a choice, or I haven't yet experienced the type of love where you "can't help it" or "heart won't listen". So no, under normal circumstances I don't think I'd run from falling for someone, after all I made the choice.

But why would you pull out/disappear when your feels are too strong for the person? Doesnt that make it worse? Then you'll start missing that person @_@ so confused



with me personally...it takes me a lot of courage to reach out to the person i have STRONG feelings for....i can sit here...think about him 24/7 and complain about him to every single person....i know....and still i just sit there and refuse to reach out to him....its kind of strange... it could be my aqua moon as well...but once I do...its sincere and sweet and very caring....but i will pull back as soon as i don't get the result i wanted....then i pull back like no tomorrow and it will take me a long time to TRUST and reach out again...if ....ever.....

I withdraw for my "me" time, mostly when i'm scared of the world and have no idea what to do, listen to songs a lot to get a grip on myself.
Other don't understand why i disappear all of sudden, they're always complaining when I do that.



HFS I couldn't put it better than this ^^^

+1 +my lol are we twins... Lol :-P

You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape Enrique's love lol

The funny thing is... The more I run... The more I hide...escape and withdraw.... my feelings become even stronger for that person... That's when I know it was real from the beginning... we are pretty good at hiding them though.. we are so solid.. and refuse to reach out when it feels like a threat... Security is my number one... It's like air for me.. Without it i find it hard to breath and live.. When there's security in love for me then I can provide nothing but well worth your time and investment... loyalty to the core n the love sincere no one can ever imagine... wishy washy behavior throw me off edge and yet I must admit I am guilty of "presenting" my own self to others. Being in love with a Taurus man makes me realise he's a mirror of my self and what I do to other people. It's a BiG lesson for me that I am working on... We are complex in a simple way. 🙂
