Attraction doesn’t disappear because something is wrong with you.
It collapses when your nervous system feels evaluated.

Pressure, performance, and self-monitoring activate the Arousal Inhibition Response (AIR). Attraction can still exist, but spontaneity shuts down because the brain no longer feels safe to open.

Modern dating and social media train the nervous system to stay in surveillance mode. Under surveillance, attraction doesn’t open — it inhibits.

The opposite of performance isn’t passivity.
It’s availability.

When the nervous system stands down, space returns.
And attraction follows naturally.

If this feels familiar, nothing is broken.
Your nervous system just needs safety again.
