The Situation

"He takes hours to respond but is always active on Instagram"

The Brutal Truth

He's more interested in validating himself via social media than connecting with you. His delayed responses reveal he doesn’t prioritize you, showing a lack of respect for your time and feelings. You deserve someone who communicates openly and prioritizes your connection.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might double-text him, over-explain their feelings, or obsess over his social media activity. This is wrong because it places their worth in his hands, seeking validation instead of asserting their own needs and boundaries.
