She is likely scared of you because something you have done, or the way you are behaving, has made her feel unsafe or has crossed a boundary she has established.
There isn't a single answer, but several possibilities can contribute to someone feeling scared:
-
Boundary Violation: You may have unintentionally crossed a personal boundary she has set, causing discomfort or fear. This could range from physical proximity to inappropriate comments.
-
Aggressive Behavior: Displays of anger, aggression, or intimidation, even if not directed specifically at her, can be frightening. This includes verbal aggression, yelling, or physical displays of dominance.
-
Controlling Behavior: Attempts to control her actions, isolate her from friends and family, or dictate her choices can create a feeling of being trapped and scared.
-
Past Actions: Previous interactions or events could have led to this fear. This could stem from rumors, observations of your behavior towards others, or direct experiences with you.
-
Misinterpretation: Your actions might be misinterpreted. What you perceive as playful or harmless could be perceived as threatening or intimidating by her.
-
Lack of Trust: A lack of trust in your intentions or your ability to respect her boundaries can lead to fear.
-
Unpredictability: If your behavior is unpredictable or erratic, it can make her feel unsafe and anxious, as she cannot anticipate your reactions.
What to Do:
If you're concerned about this, consider the following:
-
Self-Reflection: Honestly assess your recent interactions with her and others. Were there any instances where you might have been overbearing, aggressive, or insensitive?
-
Respect Her Space: Give her space and avoid initiating contact.
-
Consider External Factors: It is also possible her reaction has nothing to do with you. She may be processing trauma or dealing with something personal that affects her perception.
