Why His Insecurity Over Your Ambition is a Major Red Flag
The Situation
"He said I'm too ambitious and it intimidates him"
The Brutal Truth
His words reveal his insecurity; your ambition threatens his fragile ego. Instead of supporting your drive, he projects his fears onto you. This is a clear sign of emotional unavailability and an inability to appreciate your strengths.
