Why do we suddenly become a completely different version of ourselves when we actually like someone? đ
We overthink their texts, notice every little change, fear rejection, and sometimes start protecting ourselves before anything has even happened.
A lot of this can come from old relationship patterns, the ways we learnt to seek love, avoid abandonment, or protect ourselves from getting hurt.
The interesting part is that the person in front of us may be new, but our nervous system may still be responding to an old story.
Healing is learning to recognise that difference, and giving the present relationship a chance to be what it actually is. đ¤
Maybe the question isnât âWhy am I behaving like this?â but âWhat old pattern is asking to be understood?â
