i dont know if it is okay to take space like, going out of contact for days. i mean i can inform before i feel like it just so people won’t be worried. i’m probably just going to watch netflix endlessly and talk to no one. but i still dont know how people take it. in college, my friends got very concerned that i was isolating myself. so i decided to inform people before going into that mode. my ex was surprisingly very supportive of it but we were long distance during covid and they had their own bags and bags of issues. they ended up cheating on me so idk. my current partner, who i love and will do anything for, gets very anxious when i try to “take space”. i have never understood why they don’t like it. but i suppose it’s because i’m stuck on trying to make my point rather than listening to why it makes them anxious. i keep saying this is about me and not them. i really hope someone could help me understand their perspective.
