yes… we do think of you 🥹

You’re both trying to protect the relationship… it just doesn’t look the same.

One of you pulls back a bit, thinking it’s the right thing to do.
Like, “I’ll give them space, I don’t want to make it worse.”

The other feels that and goes, “wait… are they pulling away?”

And then you’re both reacting to that
instead of what was actually meant.

It’s not that one of you cares more.

You’re just doing different things when something feels off.
Usually without realising it.

And it tends to show up most when it actually matters.

you’re treating normal human moments
like problems to solve

a delayed reply
a shift in tone
not knowing what to say
wanting reassurance

your brain goes:
“fix it. analyse it. figure it out.”

so you do

over and over

but the exhausting part?

it’s not the situation
it’s the constant self-monitoring

send this to someone who says “I don’t mind” but definitely does 🫶

you didn’t just become “good with people”

you learned to read them
adjust yourself
say things in a way that lands

but no one really did that for you

so now you either explain yourself perfectly
or don’t bother at all

and still end up feeling unseen

that’s not a communication issue
that’s a pattern

if you’re ready to stop doing all the work in your relationships
you can book an intro call via the link in bio 🫶

You didn’t just wake up one day
and think:

“you know what would be fun…
being hyper-aware of everyone else’s moods at all times”

This is a skill.

A very refined skill.

Noticing shifts.
Reading the room.
Adjusting yourself without thinking.

And it probably made a lot of things smoother for a long time.

But now you’re the one doing all the noticing…
and wondering why no one’s doing that for you.

15/04/2026

I’m fired up because…
you’re not too much
but you’ve been around people who couldn’t meet you

you’re not overthinking
your body just doesn’t feel safe

you don’t need to “love yourself more”
but you do you need a different relationship with yourself

that’s why I’m here to help - follow along for more.
