I think the name “runner” is fitting. Constantly in motion while chasers are usually standing and waiting.
Runners get treated like they are cold or harsh… but it is all just fear. The running itself just breaks you down physically and emotionally until you’re operating on pure mechanical autopilot about everything. Probably makes it look even worse from the outside.
I’ve heard it said before, but I think it was @Cassady who said in some ways runners have it worse. At least chasers tend to be the more awakened counterpart who can join a community like this. Chasers can study and understand the connection in order to help progress. We can use tools like meditation or whatever else to help ease the hard parts.
Runners can’t do that.
I appreciate when chasers try to understand instead of just dwelling on that rejection feeling. This thread feels like that.
