I’m not going to text you first. It’s your turn to put in the effort. You say you love me but what does that actually mean to you. I don’t want to be hurt so for now I’m holding you at arms length, of for protection. If you really do love me as you say you will make it know. And it’s not as simple as saying I’m pretty or that I’m amazing, you really need to show me, you need to prove that your not like everyone else, you need to prove that if I do let you in you won’t do damage. I like you I really do, but I’m not ready to be hurt. I won’t be hurt.

I understand exactly what you’re saying here. Just be careful that you are only holding them at arms length and not actually pushing them away.
Even at arms length, if they take just a tiny step back then that’s all it take before they’re out of reach.
Don’t give in, but be careful xx
Yeah. Sometimes I just wish you could read people’s minds
Mind games like this are awful. All of these bastards say you are “amazing” and “pretty” and cheap stuff like that. It’s part of their software. Always the same circles. An infinite loop.
If they can’t handle being told you’re not ready to fully trust them, then they’re not the one.
OTOH, i would laugh in someone’s face if they “promised” not to hurt me. I don’t think any human being is capable of delivering on such a promise.
It’s not that i need to be sure it won’t hurt, but that i need to be sure the pain will be worth it.
