When someone pulls away, it’s easy to panic and think: “If I try harder, they’ll come back.”

In this episode we break down why that instinct can be so dangerous, what “no contact tests” really are, and what someone’s distance is actually telling you about how they see you.

We talk about the difference between normal confusion and patterns that start to feel like psychological abuse, and why it’s so important not to romanticize behaviour that makes you feel small, anxious or like you’re going crazy. We also share a raw moment between us on air — and a post-episode clarification — about why saying “he’s a narcissist sometimes” completely misses the point.

If you’ve ever chased someone who was half-in, half-out, this one is for you.
