Different face, same story

One unreturned text away from a full spiral

Hard conversations? You'd rather vanish into thin air
You're allergic to discomfort. DTR talks, conflict, vulnerability—you'd rather disappear than deal with any of it.

You are whoever they need you to be
Your sense of self is... negotiable. You morph into their perfect partner, then wonder why nothing feels right.

-
You've done the work. Now go find someone who matches your energy.
