i always feel a little like a begging dog but i will not elaborate on that

I promise you things will get so much better when you start processing people’s behavior as information rather than a verdict on your self-worth. If someone doesn’t text back, suddenly pulls away, whatever it may be, the solution isn’t to put on a tap dance for them and try to regain their approval. It’s not to crash out on them and try to force them to react a certain way. It’s just to take a step back, take a deep breath, and assess what this tells you. What’s this saying about them? What’s this saying about you??

YOU don’t have to be perfect to be loved. but I do

*me, literally sick with want* whatever

i understand why people go legit insane like i get it
