The Situation

"She said relationships shouldn't be hard but doesn't try"

The Brutal Truth

She wants an easy relationship without putting in the work. This statement reflects her fear of commitment and avoidance of emotional responsibility. It's code for: "I want love, but I'm not ready to invest in sustaining it."

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might cling to her, overanalyzing her words, trying to 'prove' their worth. This is unhealthy as it ignores their own needs and inadvertently reinforces her lack of effort.
