Probably because you've been itimate. You know each other very very well probably to well. So you feel very reveled. So this makes it expremely arqaurd for you both. Or it ended badly and you just dont want to go there again so you just scared it may happen again. Or maybe you feel you'll get feelings back for them and you dont want that to happen.

Personally, I think it's because when you talk to them, it reminds you of your past feelings for them. But once you get used to this and work past it, a friendship can begin.

Because of the awkwardness. Maybe you and your ex broke up in a bad way, I mean not in a good or peaceful way with mutual agreement. So, you might still have the feeling of hate toward him/her, and perhaps the awkwardness because he/she has left you.

Because you've spend a very intimate period of time with them. That's not something that is easily forgotten. You are behaving very differently around them than from before and that can be awkward.

Because there's so much history. There's good and bad days and since it's all memories now it might be hard to overcome the past and live in the present. Talking to them will remind you of who you were before and usually, it's not a better version of yourself.

A lot of times with ex partners, you sometimes can end on a bad or awkward note so it'd be hard picking up back you once left off. Even if it's just as friends.

The reason is because you still have feelings deep down and knowing you dont have them anymore is hard.

Well first off, it's hard to talk to someone who you either still had feelings for, or once had feelings for. It's all awkward. They could possibly have a new girlfriend/boyfriend and talking to them is awkward too. It is hard to not think about 'second chances' and what might have been, which may cause some tension. So I suppose the short answer is: it's awkward.

Because the last time you talked to them, they were your lovers. Someone you used to talk freely to and laugh with so much love and happiness. But now that you're strangers, its awkward.

They were once an important person in your life, and now they aren't. It's hard to cope with that. And talking to them could be triggering.
