push-pull

A long term relationship dynamic in which one member "pushes" the other other away if intimacy becomes too great or the relationship threatens to become "too serious", yet also "pulls" the pursuer back with signs of interest if the target begins to give up on pursuing the relationship. Typically this habit is the result of some one with a fear of commitment who craves the relationship yet is unwilling to give up the option of keeping all of their options open. Often a form of subtle indecisiveness, in this manner they can effectively stake a claim on the other member with their scent and keep them in relationship purgatory while still being able to jump on a better opportunity if one happens to come along.

Push pen anxiety

Push pen anxiety is when you click your pen's little button. It is addicting because of it's sound and it's motion of going up and down (no sexual innuendo.) You kind of get hypnotized. It's weird but kinda awesome. Hah, try it out but not in class. You might get in trouble with your teacher, mates.
The child got push pen anxiety and got in trouble for clicking it so much times.
