The Situation

"I'm always the one initiating plans and conversations"

The Brutal Truth

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might overanalyze every missed text or call, spiraling into self-doubt and questioning their worth. This is harmful because it places the responsibility on you to make things work, rather than addressing the lack of reciprocity in the relationship.
