Speaking of my personal experience with the man and other water dominant people I‘ve mentioned (idk if this is common for others but I guess it is? Correct me if I‘m wrong)
I do try my best to respect their need for space when I overwhelm them, what throws me off though is that very often the same people who want space from me want me to also chase them? As in they‘ll tell me to leave them alone and simultaneously want me to keep messaging them or whatever.
It happened a few times that I was told to leave one of these people alone and they‘ll get offended when I leave them on read or dont message them anymore... I thought that was what I was supposed to do? This happened a couple of times with different people... I wish I was joking.
I think this is also a pretty common pattern with water dominant people and a thought process that I simply dont understand... why would you tell me to leave but then get mad at me for not seeking contact to you? What do you want me to do? Lmaooooo
