You’re finally connecting. Things feel warm, open, intimate. And then—They shut down. No warning. No explanation. Just silence. Most people assume this means disinterest, selfishness, or worse—emotional immaturity. But there’s something deeper going on here. Something that isn’t about you at all. Avoidants don’t pull away because they don’t care. They pull away because they do. Their nervous system sees connection as a threat. Their body doesn’t register closeness as comfort—it registers it as danger. So the moment things start to feel real, their brain sounds the alarm: Get out. Withdraw. Shut down. This isn’t personal. It’s physiological. But if you don’t understand this, you’ll keep making it about you. You’ll try harder, push more, or shut down yourself. And the cycle continues. No one teaches you how to read these patterns—let alone how to respond to them. More on that soon. Matus P.S.

I felt really good when we wrapped up yesterday. Amazing,...
LOVE LEADERS Jim Rohn, a personal development expert once famously said: "I used to follow the old "I take care of you if you take care of me" motto, but I changed it. Now I go with: "I'll take care of me for you - if you take care of you for me"." The best thing you can do for any relationship, be it a business relationship, friendship, or, in our case, the romantic relationship - is to take care of yourself. If you make yourself: 10-times more loving, 10-times more aware, 10-times more...
LOVE LEADERS Matus Hanidziar I couldn't figure it out for the longest time. I saw myself as a person with strong willpower, committed, dedicated... Yet, I couldn't follow through on many habits I wished I had. I'd struggle with overeating. I'd struggle with screen addictions. I'd struggle with emotional outbursts. I'd struggle with procrastination on things I wanted to do. I'd struggle with living the life I wanted to live - the life on my terms. It got to a point I thought: "there must be...
