My favorite form of intimacy has always been asking questions, not to pry, but to understand the architecture of someone's inner world. The way they think. The way they feel. The way their past still echoes in their present. There's a depth in people that never shows unless someone asks the kind of questions that require honesty instead of performance.
Unfortunately yes, I lose interest when I feel ignored. Yes, I lose interest when you act detached, and yes,I lose interest when you don’t show interest back.
no one talks about how draining it is when your mood is constantly switching between "keep going, it'll get better" and "i can't do this anymore I'm about to give up"
i saw a quote that said “everyone loves you when you let everything slide, but the moment you start setting boundaries and holding people accountable, you become the one that’s difficult” and that’s real shit.
When you realize that 97% of people are cowards it’s very easy to not take it as personally. I know, I get it, it hurts, but most people move the way they do because it’s easier to never stand on anything, including their own feelings
