Your Type
You highly value independence and personal space, habitually keeping a distance in intimate relationships and always unconsciously pushing away those who get too close. This "extreme defense of personal boundaries" actually masks your deep trauma regarding "emotional dependence and losing yourself"; you fear that once you open your heart to someone, you will be hurt or crushed by heavy responsibilities, so you use "emotional isolation and coldness" to protect yourself from potential pain. But constantly keeping love out will make you wither in loneliness. Try resisting the urge to withdraw next time your partner tries to care for you, looking into their eyes and saying, "I need a little space right now, but I still love you"; when you learn to make commitments while maintaining yourself, you can experience the warmth of intimacy.

Avoidant types aren't without intimacy needs — those needs are so strong they cause anxiety, longing for connection yet fearing engulfment.
