basically

the 'preferring the middle distance' is more about them deciding what to do with you

when they know what they want from you they can move towards it - i think the less healthy the lse the more easy it is to move only in negative directions while being ambivalent or vague otherwis

the more mature emotionally they are - like anyone else - the more they are able to close the gap or navigate towards where they want to be or should be
