When You’re Wanting More Than They’re Giving

Before you internalize their distance or shrink your needs, pause and ask:

❓ Are my needs being heard, even if they’re not always met?

Love doesn’t mean constant closeness — but you should feel listened to.
If you’re expressing a need and it keeps getting brushed aside… that’s not care. That’s a red flag.

❓ Do I feel secure in this connection — or constantly anxious?

You shouldn’t need to chase reassurance or decode mixed signals.
Healthy relationships bring peace, not confusion.

❓ Am I compromising my boundaries just to stay close?

Are you accepting less than you deserve just to avoid losing them?
That’s not compromise. That’s self-abandonment.

❓ Is the difference in desire causing emotional pain — or just a bit of friction?

Not everyone loves the same way — but if the gap is leaving you in emotional limbo, it’s worth facing.
A little friction is normal. Chronic pain is not.

🔥 And the truth?

If your needs are consistently minimized,
If you’re made to feel like you’re too much,
If your desire for closeness is labeled clingy,
Or if you’re walking on eggshells around their pace…

💔 That’s not emotional safety.
That’s emotional starvation.

You are not too much.
You are not needy.
You are aware of what you need to feel secure — and that’s a strength.

🧭 Healthy love sounds like:

✨ “Thanks for telling me what you need — let’s talk about it.”
✨ “I care about how you feel, even if I see things differently.”
✨ “Let’s find a rhythm that feels good for both of us.”

You don’t have to settle for confusion or breadcrumbs.
You don’t have to keep proving your worth to be chosen.

You can want more.
And you can wait for more.
You are allowed to choose balance, clarity, and emotional generosity.
