Is Your Runner Scared?

Hey everyone, I’ve been obsessing over something I noticed about runners lately. It’s like they hit this invisible wall of fear and just bolt.

I used to think they were just selfish, but now I’m wondering if maybe they’re terrified of the intensity. Imagine feeling something so big that you didn’t understand. You might panic because it’s too much to handle. Has anyone noticed their runner seeming overwhelmed or scared before taking off?

I can’t help but feel a weird mix of frustration and empathy for them, you know?

I used to think my runner was just being selfish, but now I realize they were probably scared. It’s still hard because we know there is nothing to fear but we can’t explain it.

They might just be mirroring our own fear of intimacy.

I’ve noticed that when my twin’s energy feels overwhelmed or fearful, their root chakra often becomes blocked, causing them to retreat into fight-or-flight mode. It’s like their aura contracts to protect them from the intensity of our connection.

Understanding this is the first step to making actual progress <3

We’ve all prob been the TF runner at some point and just not known it. Something triggers us, and we are just out of there.

Looking back, I was definitely running from my connection. I was scared AF of the intensity. I felt like I was losing myself, so I bounced. Now I get it. It was part of the process.

Like your soul knows but your ego’s like “nah fam”.

I get it. My DM didn’t want to face it either. Seeing him in person helped me understand his hesitation.

In our shared dreams, he only calls it a “soul connection,” never “twin flame.”

Maybe that’s where my discomfort with the term comes from. Labels can add pressure, especially for someone already overwhelmed by the intensity. Sometimes, just acknowledging the bond is enough for now.

It’s kinda funny how that works out. When I try to chase, it’s like trying to catch smoke - no chance. Guess we each have our roles in this situation. Sometimes I think about if we’ll ever sync up, you know? But I’m just trying to go with the flow and see where it leads us.

When my twin first ran, my heart shattered. The depression that followed was *brutal*. But looking back, I get it now. His running initially seemed stupid, but it created space for us to grow individually.

If we’d stayed together, we might’ve lost ourselves in each other. Now, we can stand on our own two feet. We needed that time apart to become who we’re meant to be - separately and together.

Something that’s helped me is just being friends while we were apart. It is not always easy, but it is easier than being in no contact the whole time.

I’m learning to trust the process. Our higher selves have got this, even when it feels like everything’s falling apart. Patience is key, but man, it’s not easy.

Sending strength to all of you on this difficult journey. We’ve got this.

Do you know what drives me nuts? That mix of emotions we go through, but the runner just gets to stick their head in the sand.

I used to just think he was an idiot… but it could be fear too :stuck_out_tongue:

I think they feel it too but sometimes they just can’t handle it. When I walked bc mine pushed me away and gave me no choice, he said he felt my pain and angst. But then he moved onto another woman like it was no big deal. That hurt, but he keeps coming back and i believe he is now working out the trauma that was keeping him fearful.
