I am a recovering avoidant and started dating someone. I bit the bullet rhe other day and said I want to see you, it was hard to do 😅. He was so happy and responded with his whole schedule! Then asked me out Friday. Men need to know we want to see them too!

Sydney I tried a lot of your advice and while I agree with a lot of it, I also felt I just kept making excuses for this guys behaviour when in the end, he just wasn’t interested and couldn’t communicate that. I really tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but yeah….

Bracing for disappointment is learned by consistent shitty behavior.

We all gotta get better at being ok with not having certainty and control. That would be a major improvement.

I’ve always wanted someone equal to me, unfortunately that means they are just as flawed and human as I am 😔 nothing good ever comes easy (when you are your own obstacle)

I firmly believe that there is a lot of healing that can only IN relationships. That said, the thing you have to do to get to that point is be open. Open to the idea that you won’t be disappointed. Open to the idea that love can be safe. Open to the idea that the way someone behaves is not always indicative of their feelings towards you.

I think I found your account six months ago and realized I was bracing for disappointment. Changed that mindset. Game changer. Also, “if he wanted to he would” needs to GO. Recently my grandpa passed and I was not capable of anything so even if I wanted to I could NOT.

at the end of my first date with my husband, I told him point blank "I want to see you again." No expectations, no ambiguity, no timelines, just honesty. To this day he tells me how much he appreciated me coming right out and saying it so he didn't have to guess. you get what you put in when it comes to relationships and that means you're gonna have to take some risks and get a little vulnerable. yes he could have said he didn't want to see me or he could have ghosted and it would have hurt but what are you gonna do? it's the risk you run for love and I'm so glad I took it 😊

I’m totally agree with you. Y’all Stop making such generalizations about relationships. Get to know the person you’re dealing with and make your decisions based on their personality and how they actually behave. The internet can’t give everyone the same advice and expect it to work.

100% me, I sabotage my relationships with all these fears I have. Constantly bracing for impact, creating a narrative that may or may not be happening. I don’t want to be treated like an idiot meanwhile I’m probably acting like one. How do I stop this 🫠🤕😣

Thank you, genuinely, for giving real relationship advice. Most of these TikTok “love gurus” act like love is some perfect fairy tale where everything is black and white. Real relationships are messy, complicated, and take work. It’s about understanding each other, communicating, taking accountability, and growing together not following a bunch of unrealistic rules from people online.

Thanks to your content I don’t overthink anything anymore and have so much peace. I’m flirtier, giggly, and don’t sweat the small things. Honestly my dates can’t get enough of me and if they disappear, I don’t hardly notice anymore 🥰

How do you fix these problems, specifically bracing for rejection and I keep spiralling because he’s not putting in effort (it’s early days), I’m an anxiously attached
