About this episode
Some people don’t realize they’re hard to be around.
Not because they’re bad people.
But because their reactions, habits, and defenses slowly push others away.
This video breaks down the psychology behind why certain people feel “heavy” to be around, the subtle behaviors that drain conversations, create tension, and make others pull back without explaining why.
If you’ve ever wondered:
• why people distance themselves
• why conversations feel awkward or tense
• or asked yourself, “What if this is me?”
This video will help you see it clearly without shame and without excuses.
