Once the attachment wears off, they stop looking like your soulmate.
Suddenly they’re just an avoidant with a huge ego, terrible communication, zero accountability, and a full-time victim complex.
all i ever wanted was for you to truly enjoy being around me. i never needed grand gestures or constant attention.
I just wanted you to feel comfortable and happy when we spent time together. I tried to make things easy for you, never pressuring you, and always showing up with good energy.
But somewhere along the way it started feeling like being around me was a chore for you. Your replies got shorter, your effort faded, and it became clear that I was more excited to be with you than you were with me.
I kept hoping that if I just stayed patient and understanding, you’d eventually feel the same way I did.
This is me finally accepting that. It hurts to realize that all I wanted was something so simple, and even that was too much. I’m done trying to make someone enjoy my presence. I deserve to be around people who actually want me there.
