How bout protecting one’s peace. Seeing the harmony in their own life and having or maintaining contact with certain people can create chaos, drama or conflict. Not the fear of rejection, not about being vulnerable or awkward…but quite the opposite. It takes a lot of courage and resilience to be fully aware of what is not good for you!!!

Mathew Martorana :
The Fear of Rejection or Vulnerability Self-Protection: For many people, initiating contact—especially after a period of silence or following a difficult interaction—is a highly vulnerable act. The fear of being rejected, ignored, or even just feeling awkward can be so intense that they choose inactivity as a form of self-preservation. Avoidant Attachment Style: Individuals with a strong avoidant attachment style (as defined by attachment theory) often prioritize independence and emotional distance. They may genuinely care about you, but their deep-seated pattern is to withdraw when a relationship feels like it's becoming too close, too demanding, or too emotionally complex. Reaching out feels like risking that desired distance. 2. Cognitive Biases and Misinterpretations The Spotlight Effect: This is a cognitive bias where people overestimate how much others are noticing and judging their appearance, behavior, or actions. A person who hasn't reached out might assume you are constantly thinking about their silence or are angry at them, which creates a barrier to communication. The "Foot-in-Mouth" Barrier: They might be overthinking what they would say, believing they can't possibly come up with a message that is "good enough" or that successfully explains their absence, leading to paralysis by analysis
