They said they needed space

When an avoidant blocks you without warning during no contact, it is not about hurting you -- it is a self-protective move driven by fear, not indifference.

Key points

• Avoidants block to cut off the emotional trigger, not to deliver a final rejection; seeing your name, face, or healing makes them feel what they have been numbing.
• Blocking is about control: it lets them avoid the weight of emotion rather than sit with the pain.
• They did not block you because you were dangerous; they blocked you because you were the one thing that could break their defenses.
