About the Event
Have you ever felt close to someone, only to notice them pulling away just when the connection started to feel meaningful?
Some people experience this from the outside—feeling confused, questioning themselves, and wondering what changed. Others may recognize the pattern internally: withdrawing, going quiet, creating distance, or disappearing when emotions deepen or expectations arise.
This behavior is often not a lack of care.
It is protection.
Many people with avoidant attachment learned early in life that closeness came with pressure, emotional overwhelm, or loss of autonomy. Distance became safety. Independence became identity.
This meetup offers a gentle, human-centered exploration of avoidant attachment—not to label, diagnose, or assign blame, but to understand what is happening beneath the surface.
This is not therapy.
This is not about fixing anyone.
This is not about choosing sides.
The space is designed for curiosity, reflection, and honest conversation.
Topics Explored
• Why closeness can feel threatening instead of comforting
• What avoidant behavior is actually protecting
• How avoidance appears in dating, friendships, and expat life
• What changes when these patterns are understood with compassion
This gathering is suitable for those who have been affected by avoidant patterns, recognize avoidant tendencies personally, or are simply curious about how humans attach, connect, and protect themselves.
Listening is participation.
Sharing is optional.
Passing is always respected.
Sometimes people do not disappear because they do not care.
They disappear because things finally became real.
