  • Summary

  • Ever been in a situation where the moment someone pulls away, your interest in them skyrockets? Maybe you were barely paying attention before, but now that they’ve gone quiet, you’re checking your phone every five minutes, wondering what changed."

    "This isn’t just in your head—it’s psychology at work. We chase what runs, we want what’s scarce, and we fight for what seems just out of reach. Today, we’re breaking down why this happens, why some people use this to manipulate others, and how you can protect yourself from chasing something that isn’t actually good for you."

    "From ‘playing hard to get’ to the phenomenon of people wanting their ex back only when they move on—this episode is going to explain it all. Buckle up."
