The Situation

"She refuses to celebrate milestones unless it's Instagrammable"

The Brutal Truth

She’s more interested in appearances than genuine connection. This behavior shows a need for validation and fear of being vulnerable. It signals surface-level affection, which can indicate deeper commitment issues.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might feel pressured to create grand gestures to prove their worth, losing sight of authentic connection. This is wrong because love should not be a performance. Your worth isn’t defined by likes or shares.

💭 Something to Reflect On

How comfortable are you with celebrating love in private without needing external validation?
