One of the most powerful things I've learned is this: if your chest tightens when someone takes too long to reply, or silence feels like rejection, you're not dramatic. It's your nervous system replaying the moment love disappeared without warning. If waiting feels like abandonment, it's not because you're needy, it's because your body learned that love wasn't stable. You don't need to shrink to keep someone. You need to become more grounded than your triggers. And if this hits, this account is for you.
