Ever been in a relationship where you did the chasing. Or where you did more of the talking. When you do this. Er, when I do this, it means I'm not seeing what the other person will come back with. It means there's no room for them. I take up too much space. Sometimes weeks and weeks will go by and I start seeing myself 3rd person, thinking why am I talking so much? What do I need, validation? To be understood? To be smart? Answer "D", all of the above? Then I think, just be quiet for a change. See what fills the void when I stop pouring into it all the time. Maybe someone will share something with me. Maybe they'll try to connect. Maybe I'll learn something. Then I wonder, what happens if it stays a void? What if the other person doesn't want to meet me half way? What if I've shut them down? What if they are lazy? What if they're not interested?
What if they don't miss hearing the things I shared about myself.
