Why Some People Avoid Funerals or Emotional Events (It’s Deeper Than You Think)

Why do some people avoid funerals and other deeply emotional events? This video explores the psychological reasons people avoid emotional events, such as funerals, hospital visits, and moments of intense grief. While many assume avoidance means a lack of care, psychology reveals a much deeper explanation rooted in mental health, emotional regulation, and past trauma. We examine how fear, anxiety, unresolved emotional pain, and even conditions like narcissistic personality disorder can influence avoidance behaviors. Emotional events often force people to confront loss, vulnerability, and memories they are not emotionally prepared to face. For some, avoidance becomes a survival response rather than a conscious choice. Drawing on psychological insights often discussed by thinkers like Jordan Peterson, this video helps explain how people process grief differently and why dealing with grief looks different for everyone. By understanding the complexities of human emotions and social interactions, we gain a deeper perspective on why some people distance themselves from events meant to bring people together. If you’ve ever wondered why people disappear during emotional moments—or why you might struggle to attend them yourself—this video sheds light on the hidden psychological mechanisms behind avoidance and the human experience. _____________________________________________ __________________________________ ________________________ 🎧 If you want to go deeper into topics like this, here are more videos you might enjoy: ⚫    • Psychology of People Who Avoid Confrontati...   ⚫    • 25 Psychological Facts That Explain You Be...   ⚫    • Why some people laugh when they’re hurt | ...   ⚫    • The Psychology Behind Self-pleasure  (What...   ⚫    • Why Your GOAL-ACHIEVING Strategy Isn't Wor...   🧠 More deep-dive topics you may want to explore: • The Psychology of Loneliness • The Psychology of Feeling Ignored • The Psychology of Childhood Emotional Wounds • Why Intelligent People Feel Different • The Psychology of Deep Thinkers • Why Breakups Hurt Even When You Wanted It • The Psychology of Closure (And Why Some Never Get It) • Why Some People Move On Fast While Others Stay Stuck • The Hidden Grief Behind Losing Someone Who’s Still Alive • Why Certain Songs or Places Trigger Your Ex’s Memory • Becoming Your True Self — The Psychology of Carl Jung • The Psychology of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder — Joelle Rabow Maletis • Intro to Psychology: Crash Course Psychology • The Psychology of Male Loneliness • The Psychology of The Fool • The Chemical Mind: Crash Course Psychology • The Psychology of Deep Thinkers The Psychology Behind X • The Psychology of Narcissism • The Psychology of Knowing Yourself • 6 Powerful Psychological Tricks • The Psychology of Deep Thinkers • How To Never Get Angry Or Bothered By Anyone • When You Stop Being Available, Everything Changes • Darkest Psychology • The Brutal Past of a Person Who Goes Crazy • The Psychology of Solitude • Carl Jung • Loneliness • Why Intelligent People Scare Society • The Psychology of Childhood Solitude • The Psychology Of The Ignored Child • Why the Brain Clings to Familiar Pain • The Psychology of Rewriting Your Life Story • Understanding Self-Worth • The Psychology of Connection vs. Isolation • The Hidden Effects of Emotional Overload • Why Some People Outgrow Birthdays • The Psychology of Personal Boundaries
