I myself have fallen into these traps. I think that I am silent about my desires in order to "understand him", to "give him a chance". But in reality - I create an illusion, build castles out of thin air. And he, perhaps, thinks the same. As a result, we both lose time and energy, but the game goes on. 😔

Sometimes it seems to me that people are afraid of simplicity. Afraid of honesty. Afraid to say directly: "This is important to me", "I want this", "It hurts me". And then these endless moves, strategies, tricks appear. But what is the gain in this? Only fatigue. Only misunderstanding. Only emptiness.

I realized one thing: if you want the real - you need to stop playing. Yes, it is scary. Yes, sometimes you want to "see how he will react." But still, the game sooner or later turns against you. 🔥

And so I sit and think: why do we invent tests for ourselves where it is enough to just be? 🤔
