Why You Feel Pressure to Respond Quickly in Dating
The Situation
"I'm afraid if I don't respond immediately he'll lose interest"
The Brutal Truth
If you're worried about losing his interest just because you take time to respond, it shows he doesn't value your time or feelings. His need for immediate replies means your worth depends on his fleeting attention, not mutual respect.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might reply instantaneously, no matter their schedule or feelings, desperately trying to keep his interest. This reinforces a pattern of prioritizing him over their own needs, leading to unbalanced emotional investment.
