Why do people sometimes pull away in relationships?

This shift can occur when someone feels overwhelmed or pressured by the intensity of the other person's interest, causing them to create distance.
What qualities often attract people to each other?

This initial attraction may not always lead to a successful and fulfilling long-term relationship.
How should one respond when someone starts pulling away?
When someone starts pulling away in a relationship, the appropriate response is to reevaluate their importance in your life and consider allocating time and energy elsewhere.

When is it appropriate to fight for a relationship?

If both individuals are committed and willing to work through challenges together, fighting for the relationship can be a positive and necessary step.
What mindset should one have when dealing with a partner who pulls away?
When dealing with a partner who pulls away, it is important to have a mindset of valuing oneself highly and recognizing one's worth.
