I’ve been feeling really anxious, sad, and overthinking a lot about my relationship with my boyfriend. I notice small thing like when he takes a long time to reply, gives one-word answers, or is active on social media and it makes me feel unloved and insecure. I want proof that he cares, and when I test him or wait for him to reach out first, I often feel disappointed, which just makes my anxiety worse.
I know he still loves me and tries in his own way, but I feel hurt when I don’t get the attention or affection I need. I struggle to manage my emotions, especially in the mornings or when I’m stressed, and it makes it hard to focus on school, holidays, or other things.
I really want a stable, secure, and loving relationship, but I feel exhausted trying to balance my strong emotional needs with his personality and communication style. I wish I could feel more mentally stable and secure in us without spiraling so much but i dont know where to start or how to do it
i seriously dont wanna break uo with him cause i love him so much but its so exhausting being this way towards myself

It's natural we all want affection, attention, to know someone cares.
But we all have different ways of showing love.
Affection.
And of communicating.
What works for one doesn't suit the other.
It's not about confronting.
Or getting angry.
It's about voicing what we both need to be validated and appreciated in the relationship, being clear, and putting those boundaries in place 💕💜
