When you freak out more, the acting crazy as you put it. Instead of crazy, maybe that anxiety is warranted to some extent. You thought you knew Joel to be a certain way, when he started to withdraw or didn't act in the manner that you were accustomed, you needed to know why. You needed to know if it was a minor deviation or if you never knew him at all. It's a protective mechanism to keep you from getting hurt. Usually though, by the time the anxiety starts, the hurt is there and so it turns into anger and disgust and everything else.

It all boils down to trust and vulnerability.
