The Situation

"She only reaches out when I stop texting her"

The Brutal Truth

Her behavior means she’s only invested when she senses you’re withdrawing. This is a power play, using your attention to keep the thrill alive without any commitment. She's not emotionally available and is playing mind games.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might flood her with messages and apologies to regain attention, which only perpetuates the cycle of feeling undervalued. This is wrong because it reinforces her behavior instead of establishing boundaries.
