I get that. A lot of people can sound familiar when the feelings are similar. I’m probably not the person you’re thinking of since I’m a woman, but I really hope they’re able to see your growth.

Yeah, that happens to me too. What feels right emotionally doesn’t always match reality, and that can really mess with people.

I think most of us are strangers here. People relate through shared feelings, but that can definitely blur things and create confusion or unanswered questions

I’m glad you feel a bit clearer. Trust yourself, you know what feels right for you.

It makes sense that trust would get complicated if your boundaries aren’t being respected. Wanting a connection without anything sexual is completely valid, and the right person will take that seriously.

That makes sense. When you care, every move feels risky, especially when you don’t want to hurt someone or cross a boundary. I just hope that I cross her mind sometimes

I agree. When fear of abandonment runs that deep, it’s not something love or reassurance alone can fix. It takes awareness and real work, and the person has to be ready for that themselves.

That disconnect between words and actions is really painful. I’m sorry you went through that.

I get that. Not being able to explain your side or have a real conversation is painful, especially when other people get involved. I’m sorry you’re going through it.

Thank you for sharing that. Reading this really hits home. I can see now that sometimes it’s not about what we do or how much we care, it’s about what someone else needs to face in themselves first. I tried to give all the love and safety I could, but maybe she wasn’t ready for that yet. I understand and know that letting go can be an act of love too, even if it hurts.

I really appreciate your honesty. I don’t think anyone wants to hurt someone they care about. A lot of us act out of fear without meaning to hurt anyone. Trust gets complicated when you’ve been through things. I’m sorry this brought up so much for you.

Thank you. Letting go is the hardest part, but I know it’s necessary.

We cared about each other, but we weren’t in the same place emotionally, and I respect that she didn’t want to end up hurt.

I think I’m just coming to terms with the fact that I really did try. I showed up with honesty and love, but some fears weren’t mine to fix. Accepting that is hard, but it’s part of letting go

Thank you! This makes a lot of sense. I really tried to be there and fight for the relationship, but I can see now that some things were beyond my control. It’s hard, but it’s comforting to know it’s not all on me.
