I realize a pet peeve I have.

When I am there for people I love, I want them to purposely feel important. What is for them is for them, not for someone to take away.

So I kind of hate it when I am with people and they volunteer what I have for the sake of giving it to another.

See, what is mine is mine. If I am comfortable giving what is mine to another, I'd offer it myself. But otherwise, no, don't even bring it up. In fact, you shouldn't even be thinking or considering it.

People can be insensitive about it. But it really pisses me off when someone who is supposed to be on my side is insensitive of the kind of person I am.

There are ways to learn how to love a person, like you can observe what lightens them up and watch out for what makes them in a bad mood. And the key is you have to remember those points.

I have no problem offering patience. But at some point, you gotta ask. How come after all these time you still don't get me? It can be tiring. Really tiring to teach people you love how to love you right. Friends and family.

And the funny thing that really upsets me is that if they love me, then shouldn't they already know it? Because I can tell with my eyes closed what they like and don't like, what they can and cannot tolerate.

Sometimes, it makes me wonder if the kind of love I desire, the kind of love I give, is really invisible to find and receive for myself.

I need a drink.

Some people are genuinely clueless. They seek nothing deeper than a 'whiff' of emotion, and they never really "see" the person they are with. They don't care to. Perhaps it's too much effort for them, or maybe it's that their emotional intelligence is nonexistent. I don't know.

Oh, of course some will 'talk a good talk'. They figure out what makes you tick, what speaks to your heart, then use it to get what they want. Until they grow bored of the charade and move on.

The genuine connection you're talking about is difficult to find. I don't even know if it actually exists.

Unfortunately, from what I've seen, there is typically one heart in a relationship that sees, feels, understands, works hard to make someone feel loved, and strives keeps the relationship going, while the other heart is like a child v who hangs out in the passenger seat and just 'goes along for the ride', taking all the good stuff that comes with it.

Good luck with what you're looking for. I hope you find the kind of love that feeds your soul. The kind where you no longer feel like asking, "Do you even know who I am?"

Maybe in previous relationship they got they're heart broken enough to be cautious going forward ?????

@pdockal Caution is one thing. Being clueless is another. 🤷🏼‍♀

Sometimes cautious comes across other ways

@pdockal Cautious doesnt come across as clueless. It often comes across as hesitant, quiet, introspective, reserved, among others. But it isn't the same as clueless.
