I don’t push people away because I don’t like them or appreciate them. I push them away for the opposite reason. I do care about them and I don’t want them to have to put in the enormous effort of helping me. Not gonna lie, when someone not just says that they care about you, but truly shows it more through actions, it feels really good. But I care about you too much to let you waste your time and energy on me.

I reach out to her because she’s one of the most original and intelligent people I’ve ever met. This assessment holds true even after testing every facet of my impressions for over a year.
Nobody has ever captured my imagination like this. I won’t regret not doing everything in my power to establish any kind of meaningful connection.
If they really cared, they would keep pushing through to stick with you and love you. 🙁
And they shouldn’t pressure you too much to be happy or spend time with them or anything and be willing to give you some room when you need it, or even let you open up if you feel the opposite and need some company.
