Why do we need the most to feel most secure?

Why do we need the ultimate compliment back in order to feel like they meant it?

Why do we desire constant conversation to believe that someone is truly interested?

Why do we take someone being busy with their own life as a way for them to get out of seeing us?

Why are we so impatient?

Yes , we grew into a life that comes with a lot of instant gratification but I refuse to believe that our minds are in this default “all or nothing” mindset. I mean, we can be patient when we know that we’re going to get what we want lol.

But, what about expectations? Maybe we just have unrealistic expectations that we’re trying to fulfill. If someone doesn’t live up to them then we just automatically assume less of. Lol gosh, it’s so unnecessary to do that but i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t a culprit of it too.

And then we just begin to disconnect ourselves for what? To protect our hearts? Our sanity? When in reality, if someone is giving you attention of any sort, clearly they want to. We’re past the age of faking that. No one has time for it. 

Take a deep breath.

Accept that simple compliment for what it is. Enjoy the small talk conversation and make some extra effort to take it further if that’s what you want. Be patient with someone's time. They will give it to you. You should value your time just as much. It’s important for us to fulfill ourselves on our own before looking for another to fill up the gaps with us.
