The Anxiety of Sexual Relationships

An anxious person will typically test. So they'll start to panic in their head and tell themselves the story. They'll maybe start to be more flirtatious with their partner or try to initiate sex more. And so they're likely to respond to that by withdrawing further, which cements the anxious person's read of the situation. For the anxious person, it's a very short walk from they've lost interest in me sexually to they're going to leave me.
