There’s a kind of pain that doesn’t come from fights or breakups.

It comes from something quieter.

It’s the feeling that you’re too much for someone.
Too emotional.
Too needy.
Too talkative.
Too sensitive.
Too loving.

And slowly, without even noticing, you start shrinking yourself.

You stop saying what you feel.
You stop asking for attention.
You stop sharing your thoughts.

Just so they don’t get annoyed.
Just so they stay.

Let’s talk about that, mate.


Love is not supposed to feel like a performance

You shouldn’t feel like you’re constantly being judged.

  • Thinking twice before sending a message
  • Deleting texts because you don’t want to sound needy
  • Hiding your feelings so you don’t start an argument
  • Acting “cool” when you’re actually hurting

That’s not love.

That’s anxiety in the shape of a relationship.


When someone is right for you, you feel safe

Not perfect.
Not excited all the time.
Not in a movie-like romance.

But safe.

Safe to:

  • Be emotional
  • Talk about your fears
  • Admit your mistakes
  • Ask for reassurance
  • Be your real self

The right person doesn’t make you feel like a burden.

They make you feel like you belong.


You are not “too much”

You’re not too much.

You just gave your love to someone who couldn’t handle depth.

Some people only like:

  • Surface-level conversations
  • Low-effort relationships
  • Love without responsibility

And when they meet someone genuine, emotional, and real…

They call it “too much.”

But the truth is:

You weren’t too much.
They were just not enough.

Love should not feel like constant confusion

If you constantly ask yourself:

  • “Do they even care about me?”
  • “Am I annoying them?”
  • “Why do I feel so insecure here?”
  • “Why do I feel alone even in this relationship?”

Your heart is trying to tell you something.

Healthy love brings:

  • Peace
  • Stability
  • Clarity
  • Respect

Not constant doubt.


The right person makes love feel simple

Not easy.

But simple.

You don’t have to guess where you stand.
You don’t have to chase basic attention.
You don’t have to beg for time, care, or respect.

They:

  • Text you because they want to
  • Listen because they care
  • Stay because they choose you

Not because you convinced them to.


One day, you’ll understand

One day, you’ll meet someone who:

  • Doesn’t make you feel crazy for having feelings
  • Doesn’t disappear when things get serious
  • Doesn’t make love feel like a competition

And you’ll look back at your past relationships and think:

“I wasn’t hard to love.
I was just loving the wrong person.”

If someone makes you feel like you’re difficult to love…

Maybe they’re just the wrong person for you.

And that’s okay.

Because the right one won’t make you shrink.

They’ll make you feel seen.
