I learned a lot from this. Even though I'm not in a relationship yet, what holds me back is a similar mentality to Minjun's. It's not pride; it's the fear that we're not on the same page. I worry that I value the connection or will invest in it more than the person I'm dating, which feels like rejection in advance for me. Because of that fear, I avoid initiating contact and just wait for them to reach out first. Just like them, I want a relationship where we can talk about anything and everything, from the trivial to the serious. I know I sound dumb asf but maybe I'm not fit to be in a relationship.
