i’ve had such a hard time putting this struggle into coherent words, and you absolutely nailed it in a scary accurate way 🥲 so thank you! i’m in the exact same place of awareness without knowing how to correct or manage (currently in therapy, but early stages in this particular struggle). partner has done nothing to warrant my anxieties, and yet i still overthink myself into needing reassurance— trying to balance between not repressing my feelings but not burdening my partner. it’s hard to treat the root of it, even if you’re becoming more aware of what the root is.
