I pull away because i don’t want to deal with other people’s endlessly negative expectations.
Comment on Anon tries being social
Mandarbmax@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoSpeaking from the guy perspective (and not at all to minimize your pain) sometimes pulling away is necessary for managing feelings of rejection and longing; better to pull away than to have a crash out in a year about how her boyfriend isn’t you but also still bad. It just sucks all around.

I’m glad you compulsively responded to every positive comment to tell them how wrong they are and how bad volunteering is.

I’ve never done this to a friend or had a female friend do this to me, but so many guys seem incapable of dealing with feelings of disappointment without destroying a relationship.

staying in a relationship that disappoints you is far less healthy than just ending it entirely.
that’s true of any friendship or romantic relationship.
