anytime I feel neglected/abandoned over something I know is irrational (not getting texted by fp that day) it takes everything in my power not to lash out and tell them I want them out of my life. I know I’m an adult and from experience, being that dramatic is something that pushes people out of my life (the opposite of what I want to achieve) but it’s so hard to fight the urge/express my feelings in ways other than “never reach out to me again you clearly don’t care about me”. I know I just want attention/validation but how tf do you express that in a healthy way?? In my mind, if I have to ask for attention/validation, it’s not validating. Basically if I have to “ask” them to show me they care, it doesn’t make me feel like they do.
