In this episode of The Clarity Pivot, Tavares Bussey reflects on a relationship that felt safe and the fear that surfaced once intimacy became real. Through personal storytelling, cultural reflection, and psychology explained in plain language, he explores how attachment patterns form, how emotional survival shows up in Black masculinity, and why emotional distance is often mistaken for strength.

This episode names the cost of avoidance, the quiet damage of pride, and the way unprocessed grief can disguise itself as boundaries. Drawing insight from All About Love by bell hooks, Tavares reframes love as practice rather than feeling and stillness as a necessary interruption for healing. The episode centers accountability, faith, emotional labor, and the courage it takes to stay present instead of disappearing.

This is a conversation about learning how to love without armor, honoring where survival strategies came from, and choosing presence over performance.
