The Situation

"I'm afraid if I don't text her she'll forget about me"

The Brutal Truth

This fear reflects insecurity and low self-worth. Instead of establishing genuine connection, he relies on constant communication to validate his presence. It means he’s more concerned about his own fears than building a mutual relationship.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might overwhelm her with texts, seeking reassurance and trying to keep her attention on him. This sets a precedent of dependency, which can drive her away rather than draw her close. Instead, focus on self-worth and stability.

💭 Something to Reflect On

What part of you believes that your value depends on someone else's memory of you?
