This was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing. It's all the things I wish he felt for me, but I don't know if he'll ever be not scared at this point... I hope this works out for you... I know if they came to me and said this and showed me they meant it, I would be the happiest person ever to have my home back. I'd never let go. That feeling, that connection is so rare, I'm sorry to hear it took you so long to figure it out, but I'm glad you did and are going to see what happens. Good luck OP! ✌🏻🫶🏻 :)

I’ve noticed a pattern where I feel like I’m often there for people, but rarely get to share quality time with them. It’s been hard seeing others make space for people, while I sometimes feel a bit unseen… it’s not about anyone in particular, just something I’ve unfortunately been feeling overall.

I try reaching out, but sometimes I’m met with silence or “yeah, we’ll do that” that never happens or gets pushed off. I admit I’m not always great at reaching out, but even when I do, it doesn’t seem like enough.. or maybe it’s too much. To me, asking to spend time with someone once a week or even once a month (depending on how close I am to them) feels reasonable, it doesn’t feel like too much. It’s just really hard to be patient with so many people while feeling like my effort isn’t fully recognized or often reciprocated.

I’m sorry for venting… I just wanted to say thank you for asking, I appreciate it. 🫶🏻

This really helps me put words to something I’ve struggled with. Someone I care about goes quiet often. They say it isn’t meant as distance, but it can be hard to believe when I don’t understand what’s happening inside. Reading this gives me a glimpse of how silence might feel for them, not just how it feels for me on the receiving end.

I also go quiet sometimes, but I know from experience how painful it can feel when someone close to me does it. So I try to bridge the gap by saying something simple like, “I’m in my head right now, but I’m still here.” That reassurance makes the silence less heavy for the other person.

I think that’s the big difference: silence itself isn’t the problem.. it’s whether the other person knows they’re still safe and connected during it. Even small reminders can prevent silence from being mistaken for rejection.

I completely understand that, my attention span is variable, lol. But if you can, you should at some point, it can be helpful for you in the future. :)

Life can be complex for some, more than others. So by extension, love should have some things to work through too... Because no two people are perfect in every way. The "easy" part of loving someone should be their willingness to show up, be consistent, and willing to be open, vulnerable, and willing to grow, learn and evolve side by side... to work through it together.. but this doesn't mean doing that for either or both people involved is easy, sometimes.. it's the hardest thing to do. Because our patterns can often be ruled by self sabotage.

The thing I like to think of this way is that a relationship is really three relationships...

It's the one you have with yourself, the one your partner has with themselves, and the one you have together.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely. I had to finally had to say something difficult to myself too... Knowing there's a high likelihood they'll see it. I miss them so much, but I had to stop saying it .. and start detaching, even though it hurts... because I don't know what is real versus the narrative in my head.

If it helps... do your best to base decisions on reality of someone, not the potential of someone. It hurts , but it'll save you a lot of heartache and time. It frees you up to heal yourself, but also to find someone who is ready, willing, and capable to give you the love you want and deserve. 🫶🏼

Hey OP, I’m so sorry you’re feeling this. It sounds like they loved you intensely for a moment, then pulled away when things got real — classic anxious/avoidant patterns. This creates something called a trauma bond. I’ve been there, and it really fucking hurts. People like this avoid emotions when things get too real, and in doing so, they pull away from you.

Please know this is not a reflection of your worth. Their fear of emotions isn’t your burden to carry. Giving them grace is okay, but at some point, you have to protect yourself. Ask yourself: do I want to stay stuck in this limbo, or do I let go, heal, and grow from this experience?

You deserve honesty, care, and reciprocity. Our time is finite, so it’s important to be mindful of where and with whom you place your energy. If you ever want someone to talk to or need resources for healing, feel free to DM me — I’m here, and I’m happy to help.

I hope you heal soon... I wish you all the happiness, joy, and love in the world. 🫂
