#emotionalawareness — Public Fediverse posts

I used to think "they're my person" was a permanent title.
Gave it like a crown.
Titles get revoked.
People aren't positions. They're choices, daily ones.

I used to think I was alone in feeling this.
Then I wrote it down.
And thousands of strangers said "me too."
That's why this account exists.

I used to think "fighting for us" was noble.
Fought. Begged. Held on.
You can't fight for an "us" alone.
That's not fighting. That's shadowboxing.

I once apologized for crying.
"Sorry, I'm being emotional."
As if feelings were an inconvenience.
As if I owed anyone an apology for having a heart.

I once said "we're good" when we weren't.
Said it so they'd stay comfortable.
My comfort was never part of the negotiation.

I once loved the idea of someone more than the someone.
The idea texted back. The idea showed up.
The person never did.

I used to be embarrassed about how much I cared.
Toned it down. Played it cool.
Now I know: the right person won't make you audition your own heart. #SimplyJohnOne #HumanBehavior #RelationshipAwareness #EmotionalAwareness #ToxicPatterns

I once chose the person who felt like home.
Turns out home was just familiar pain.
I'd lived there so long I called it comfort.

I once said "take your time" when what I meant was "please hurry, I'm drowning."
People-pleasing is just fear with good manners.

I once stayed because the good days were so good.
Two good days a month.
I built a whole case on two days.

I thought being understanding meant accepting everything.
"They're going through a lot."
So was I.
Nobody was understanding me.

I thought closure was a conversation.
So I chased it. Drafted the perfect final message.
Never sent it.
One day I realized: the closure was me, deciding I was done.

I once loved someone through their worst.
Held their hand through the storm.
Then watched them become the storm.
Loyalty to someone who's hurting you isn't loyalty.
It's self-abandonment with better branding.

Watch how someone apologizes. "I'm sorry you feel that way" is a press release. "I'm sorry I did that" is a person. #SimplyJohnOne #HumanBehavior #RelationshipAwareness #EmotionalAwareness #toxicpatterns
