Your Type
Freedom is your soul's core. At the slightest hint of constraint, your defenses activate and you run away instantly. This behavior of "treating running away as your first instinct" actually masks your deep fear of "being controlled, losing yourself, and showing vulnerability"; you fear that if you let someone too close, you'll be stripped of all independence and have nowhere to hide if you get hurt in the future, so you use "proactively severing connections" to ensure you always hold the power in the relationship. But always running ahead of others means you'll never experience the warmth of being safely caught. Try honestly telling them "I'm a bit scared right now and I need some space" the next time you feel panic and want to disappear; when you learn to use communication instead of running away, your freedom will no longer be an isolated island.
