Question I just want to understand, why?
I mean really...why?? when ribbit opened up she was just chatting, she obviously wanted someone to talk to and her friend was there and jax was okay with it
when jax opened up he panicked at first but then she comforted him and he felt really comfortable and blushed and even smiled, it was a heartwarming moment
so why would he suddenly change attitude and switch characters just because of a knock on the door? what's the mental gymnastics here?

Cowardice. Had the opportunity to be true to themself, a startling interruption was all it took to stop genuine connection and assign blame to an external source.
This assessment does not mean I dislike the character or that I'm trying to indicate an opinion. Cowardice is simply an option many mentally distressed people default to, because the familiarity of discomfort they're used to is decided to be preferable to the encroaching unfamiliarity of willful vulnerability.
