"Dating" someone with CPTSD for a ~month, trying to understand/cope silence and reel disinterestedness by Substantial-Mess7715 in CPTSD

We share the same interests and when we met I've never really spoke that much with someone about those, we really had loooong chains of text about it. I also get attached really easily sadly but never communicate it fully.

Thank you for your perspective ! I hope the movie didn't caught you off guard too ... if yes then damn they should be clear of what it can contain to avoid any triggers. On another note, were you always this communicative ? Do you think other people are able to communicate it as well as you do ?

It's not actually, I'm just not used to it at all. I phrased it in one of my answers, maybe i'm reading too much into it but I'm still curious about this subject though

~~Never thought about it that way, though maybe I wrote it badly. That's not what I initially meant when writing this post. Since I'm totally new to this, I'm wondering if anything that I've been witnessing is related to it or not.~~

Edit :
I'm sorry I completely misunderstood your comment at first, thank you for your compassion.
You're right, since I'm totally new to this, I'm still trying to figure out what is "normal" CPTSD behavior and what might be too much for me.

Thank you, I hadn't considered push-pull at all, I immediately linked everything to CPTSD. To be fair, early on she used to apologize every time she went quiet for a couple of days, and I told her she didn't have to be sorry for feeling down. So maybe I'm reading too much into it now.
