The Situation

"She stays glued to Instagram during trips"

The Brutal Truth

Her constant scrolling on Instagram during your trips shows a lack of presence and investment in the experience. This indicates emotional unavailability or distraction, suggesting she values social media interaction more than genuine connection with you.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might over-explain her feelings or demand more attention to prove her worth. This is wrong because it neglects her self-care and implies that her value relies on seeking validation from someone who may not reciprocate.
