How do you explain people wanting to talk but at the same time people want their own personal space?

That's when we must feel and understand what needs to be said at an appropriate time. Because when someone reaches out and retracts out of instinct. And we can see this pattern then we are now responsible for the out come of the conversation

that was my ex gf I liked talking to her but it was like ok now I wanna watch a movie like seriously I want some fucking me time

People like me do want to talk to others, but not ALL DAY, not for HOURS. I need my own space after all of that.

means they want you to just listen without any advice or negative feedback

They want others to be there for them but not the other way around

Frustratingly
