never force relationships or communication. if it's not mutual, then let it go. people know exactly what they're doing. if they wanted to match your energy, they would. start rewarding inconsistency with unavailability. allow them to lose you because of their lack of effort
a girl on tik tok just said "i would rather adjust my life to your absence, than adjust my boundaries to accommodate your disrespect" and i think that a lot of people need to take that and really engrave it into their soul.
