The dynamics of pursuers and distancers in relationships

In relationships, one person often becomes the pursuer while the other becomes the distancer. The distancer avoids dealing with their own longing and desire for closeness by relying on the pursuer to fulfill their needs. This dynamic occurs because we tend to be attracted to people who embody traits we don't want to confront within ourselves. So, in a way, we outsource our needs to our partners. It may seem like we are attracted to opposites, but in reality, we are drawn to people who fill the gaps in our own emotional landscape.
