Useful Tricks

How to handle specific emotional situations

When I Go Quiet

What it means:

I'm likely processing emotions or feeling overwhelmed. Silence doesn't mean I don't care.

What helps:

Give me space, check in gently, avoid pressure to talk immediately.

What makes it worse:

Constant checking, taking it personally, or demanding immediate responses.

When I Seem Distant

What it means:

I might be dealing with internal struggles or needing alone time to recharge.

What helps:

Respect my space while letting me know you're available when I'm ready.

What makes it worse:

Taking it as rejection or trying to "fix" me immediately.

When I Feel Insecure

What it means:

I'm doubting myself or our connection, not because of anything you've done.

What helps:

Gentle reassurance, patience, and reminding me of our connection without pressure.

What makes it worse:

Overanalyzing, getting frustrated, or dismissing my feelings.
