I'm dating a wonderful man. Not sure what he sees in me, but he says he loves me. We've been together around a year, my most stable relationship and longest without breakups.

But this last week I feel like I've been way too intense. Giving even more affection than usual, asking for validation, I'm pretty sure I'm more into him than he is me. I keep telling stupid stories and making myself look bad. I swear I'm scaring him off and he's going to leave me.

I'm overwhelming and insecure and annoying and I don't know why he's even still with me. I feel like every text I send he's just rolling his eyes and sighing. Annoyed that I'm still talking to him.

Objectively he isn't acting any different than usual. But I'm reading into every little thing and obsessing over his tone and body language. Counting the minutes between each sign of affection.

I'm normally very affectionate and I usually worry I'm a little much. But the last week or so feels so much worse. I'm absolutely convinced he's going to leave me any moment. But I don't want to talk to him about this because then I'll just seem more insecure and clingy and make things even worse.
