Anna left Love Is Blind Season 9 abruptly during the pods because she felt overwhelmed by the emotional vulnerability and guilt of taking a spot in the pods that could have gone to someone else looking for love. She was also deeply concerned about her immigrant parents, who did not understand the reality TV environment and were worried about her safety since she would be out of communication with them. This combination of personal and family pressures caused her to break down and decide to leave quietly without informing her matches directly. She later expressed that she wished she had handled leaving differently but did not regret her decision, feeling her connections on the show were not strong enough for a successful marriage.
