Can anyone explain

What about ones like me that say it directly and are ignored anyway because he doesn’t care?

We do this in the hope people will understand or at least acknowledge what's going on with us....not to make you think and feel the same way.
Most men don't get this at all....

So now it's our fault you guys can't read minds? 🙄

LOL

I always tell my bf what I'm mad about. I don't expect him to read my mind. And I'm not gonna play games and act like I'm happy if I'm not.

Actually quite the opposite, it’s oftentimes feeling insecure and wanting to know someone cares enough to pay attention.

It's all about reading feelings. I suppose one must let go of egoism to be able to do this? 🤔

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but it can be an attempt to avoid conflict.

I just go with the flow,
If Momma' happy...🤗💕🌹

One of those things....
