We are more easily taken advantage of because we don't play games and it is disheartening
Something I realized with my history of romantic relationships even going back to early high school, is we are real. We wear our hearts on our sleeve and I don't think we'd be able to play games if we wanted to.
We love deeply and quickly and we are up front about how we feel about someone. But that let's them take advantage of us however they want while we are blindsided.
At 15 my parents put me in therapy and she told me "so you just pick bad men"...
I wish I could go back and tell baby me that it wasn't my fault.
That no, I am just open and tell the truth and expect that from my boyfriend as well. He's just bad. It isn't about me.
Even in good relationships I've had my man just start not telling me things because he's able to because I don’t see it.
Now I have hella relationship anxiety and trust issues and I sometimes just want to cry because WHY can't people just tell you how they feel and MEAN IT. Stop playing stupid games 😭
