I find this so rarely mentioned or even recognized. Some of those people who consider themselves mentally and emotionally strong — “awakened” and “evolved” — may expect others to “own their shit” and I feel they’d look down on me if I have problems with this approach. I like how you point it out, that this may be acting out of fear and avoiding — and also missing out on — some deep and difficult conversations with their partners. Though it must be up to the level of commitment too.
