Low Self-Esteem and Personal Growth β€’ nathansophia β€’ 6d ago

I'm a 20-year-old woman and I have a wonderful, caring, and respectful boyfriend. Despite that, I find myself subconsciously trying to distance myself from him. What can I do to address this, aside from seeking therapy?

We met around November, and everything is going well. However, I think I developed feelings for him when we met in person, but I find myself pushing him away when we text. I'm currently working on starting therapy. Thank you for your advice! xx

It’s great that you’re aware of these feelings! Try communicating openly with him about your distance when you text. Being honest can really help! You're doing well by considering therapy too. 😊
