The Situation

"She's less invested since the distance"

The Brutal Truth

She’s pulling back emotionally because the distance is becoming an excuse for him not showing up fully. This behavior reveals a lack of commitment and willingness to invest in the relationship, signaling that he may not see a future together.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might start over-analyzing every text or call, spiraling into thoughts of insecurity and fear of loss. This reaction is wrong because it fuels dependency and makes them chase validation instead of recognizing their worth and setting boundaries.
