The Situation

"He said his family wouldn't approve of me"

The Brutal Truth

He’s not committed to you and using family as an excuse. It often indicates he’s either unsure about the relationship or values external opinions over your connection. Either way, that’s a red flag for serious commitment issues.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might overthink this statement, obsessively trying to prove their worth or seeking reassurance. This is unhealthy because it places their value in someone else's opinions rather than recognizing their inherent worth.
