I had written the following when you said you didn't understand:

I would say the posts above speak to that question.

Let me provide the context for what follows. (And to the mods, the following link specifically speaks to a WAS (even MLCer) mind set of "why" one disconnects without provocation, due to underlying fears.)

Everyone can and does disconnect, from time to time. What ever "reason" one uses to explain "why" they disconnect, the underlying cause is fear. Al Tuttle explains how fear (our primal fear) drives us, even when there is no real threat. When it comes to emotions, that fear is Vulnerability.

Brené Brown explains how this works in her Ted Talk: The power of vulnerability

MLCers do this, WAS do this, LBS do this... it is a HUMAN thing...

The sooner we understand this in ourselves, the sooner we can actually use this understand to manage our connections and disconnections.
