Why You Push People Away
The distance you keep was once the safest place to stand. Mindberg helps you see why.

Take the Shadow Work TestSomeone gets close and something in you starts the countdown. You go quiet, get busy, pick the fight that ends the evening, or find the flaw that lets you leave first. From the outside it looks cold. From the inside it feels like relief with a bad aftertaste, and then the same loneliness you started with.
You do not push people away because you feel too little. Usually it is the opposite. Closeness once cost you something: it came with conditions, or it disappeared without warning, or it belonged to someone who could hurt you with it. A part of you concluded that distance is cheaper than loss, and it has been paying that bill ever since.
The wall is not the problem. The wall is a protection. The problem is that no one, including you, has ever seen what it is protecting. Mindberg is a short depth-psychology test that maps exactly that: when the pattern fires, what built it, and what it still believes about closeness. Then it gives you the daily work that follows. Built by a Jung Institute analyst. Not dating advice.
What people ask
Why do I push people away
Because a part of you learned that closeness is a setup. It watches for the moment things get warm and moves first, so the loss happens on its schedule instead of someone else's. The pattern is old, it made sense once, and it keeps running because it has never been seen clearly.
Why do I sabotage relationships when they get serious?
Serious is the trigger. Casual costs nothing to lose, so the guard sleeps. The moment something matters, the old math wakes up: leave first, find the exit, prove it would have ended anyway. Mindberg's test shows you the part doing that math.
Is this therapy?
No. Mindberg is not therapy or a substitute for it. It is a structured shadow-work test built on Jungian depth psychology, made to show you a pattern clearly. What you do with what you see is yours.
