yeah the psychological mind games are just something I don’t have the energy to invest in at this age.
I rather maintain boundaries & restrictions by not even allowing people into my space.
A CHOICE not an obligation. Just because you’re interested in somebody doesn’t mean you have to put all your eggs in one basket before they’ve shown consistency effort and genuine intentions. A lot of people get attached to potential and end up creating loyalty where no commitment exists. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that exclusivity should be earned and not assumed. Until two people have a real conversation about what they’re building.. you’re still gathering information. You’re still learning if this person aligns with your life, your values, and your future. Being single isn’t about entertaining everybody but it’s about giving yourself enough space to make wise decisions instead of emotional ones.
