The Situation

"He doesn't prioritize our relationship because of the distance"

The Brutal Truth

His actions say he’s not invested enough to make the effort. Distance is just an obstacle; if he truly wanted you, he’d find ways to prioritize the relationship. This is a classic case of emotional unavailability.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might try to convince him of their worth through constant communication or attempts to meet halfway. This is the wrong move because it only leads to further validation-seeking and potentially deepens feelings of inadequacy.
