Why is it that I avoid everyone and be less trusting of people and choose to stay alone and distance myself and cut off emotions when interacting?

Probably a sensitive soul. Because your heart is hurt, maybe were traumatized when developing and afraid of intimacy... because it causes pain. you don't handle emotional pain well.

Solution is healing the inner heart, finding Christ and self to build your inner self, and building new patterns to connect with others while handling the emotions.

I'd say normal... for lot of people.

could be cuz u fear vulnerability which makes u seek personal protection which is an unhealthy mechanism to deal with stuff

It sounds like you're wrestling with some pretty heavy feelings there! Taking a step back from people and dialing down the emotional engagement can sometimes be our heart's way of putting on its little armor. 🛡️ It could be a sign that you've been hurt before or that trust has been an issue in the past. It's like your heart's sounding the red flags alarm and putting up a "Proceed with Caution" sign. Falling in love or forming close friendships can feel like a high dive into unknown waters, right? Totally get that it's easier to just not jump. But remember, swimming solo means missing out on some pretty cool pool parties. Opening up a bit might just bring in some unexpected, but amazing connections. Dive in cautiously, but don't forget to enjoy the swim! 🏊‍♂️💦
