So many people cannot respond once they know that you can
see them. They’re love avoidant. And that is completely their-own issue. They may be into you at first because they
love the attention but then they realize, ‘Oh, now it’s the point where there
is something required of me. There’s
intimacy. I might be devoured by this
person.’ And they want to pull
away. I see that so many times in people
I correspond with and in experiences I had in my twenties when all of a sudden
it was like a switch turning off and I couldn’t stand to be around a girl that
wanted more. And I wanted to run. And it breaks my heart that I didn’t have the
words to express to her then, ‘you don’t understand the reason I changed is
because you’re present and you’re healthy and you’re whole and this is scaring
the shit out of me.’
