Viele Menschen verwechseln angenehme Gefühle mit gesunden Zuständen. Doch das Nervensystem funktioniert komplexer.

Your nervous system decides every second: whether you feel safe or threatened whether your body can relax or needs to fight whether closeness is possible or withdrawal feels necessary whether you can think clearly or feel emotionally overwhelmed

A woman is exhausted, internally empty, while her partner desires closeness. She doesn’t say no, adapts, and explains herself. Outwardly, harmony remains, but inwardly, withdrawal develops. The man senses the distance and becomes insecure or more demanding—not because he is “bad,” but because the balance has been lost.
