Should this be separated by a Comma?

I stay away from really crowded spaces, my reasons for which are several: …"

Then I go on to list some reasons. But my question is whether those two thoughts should be separated by a comma? Or should they be broken up with something else? Are they 2 sentences? Thanks! —Byoung Suh

Sounds like it might. But I can't explain why?

This sounds unnatural to me. I'd say "I stay away from really crowded space for several reasons" or "I stay away from crowded spaces. There are several reasons for this".

Not my question to answer, but I'll guess anyway.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
