Series 9: The Wall and the Wonderland: When They Don’t Want to Meet You There

Episode 158: Hiding in the Hedge Maze: When They Use Confusion to Avoid Closeness

In Wonderland, hedge mazes are designed to mislead—walls shifting, paths twisting, exits never quite where they seem. In real life, some relationships feel just the same.

In this episode, we explore what happens when people use confusion as a shield—dodging clarity, hiding behind mixed messages, and creating distance instead of connection.

We’ll wander through the maze of emotional deflection, talking about how it feels to constantly question if you’re lost, being led in circles, or simply not meant to find the center at all.

Together, we’ll look at the impact this has on trust, intimacy, and self-worth—and how to step out of someone else’s maze to find your own path forward.
