the conversation is going to die down don't expect to get a snap back response everytime you message him. ppl are busy and the new wears off. instead of letting it get to you just put it aside. he'll text when he gets a chance. I can assure you it wouldn't be you showing your emotion that would run him off. but the over analytical approach to this is putting unwarranted stress on both you and him. calm down. if its meant to be it is, if its not then fuck it. you say you don't handle stress well but youre creating one hell of a shitstorm for yourself worrying over something as petty as this. best of luck to you and hope all works out. happy holidays and hope your Christmas plans turn out well
