I Am a Sensitive Person
Of often hearing from the men that have come in and out of my life . . that I'm too needy, demanding, complicated, dramatic, negative, unreasonable, SENSITIVE . . Just once I'd like to hear from him . . It's not YOU, it's me ! I'm unable or unwilling to commit, make an effort, pay attention, or just plain care enough about the way you feel . . and I'm not going to pretend that I am capable of any of this . . It would make both our lives so much less complicated. You are off the hook, and I'm not left disappointed. I only wish this was a mutually shared sentiment . . To have him demonstrate care and concern not only with his words, but more importantly with his actions.
Maybe you could perceive my attitude as naive, but I will always believe that if you are truly in love & genuinely concerned with your partner's happiness and emotional well-being, that their feelings, needs, and desires should be of paramount importance. Even more so than your own. For me, this is the essence of pure, genuine love and deep, sincere passion. Otherwise, your investment is simply self-motivated, designed to meet your own needs with minimal concern for your partner's feelings. Just plain selfish !
It's not wrong for me to expect the same treatment from my partner. I am proud to be a giving, authentic person who loves fully and generously . . this fact will never change . . despite the absence of agreement about this vital matter. My emotions are mine to protect and nurture, and are worthy to be handled with care & empathy ! Not to be minimized and set aside.
