People with anxiety have a keen ability to understand others.
Because they know a lot of what is said doesnt come out of someones mouth.
Its never something you adjust to or get used to.
God & Man
It hurts every time.
But what hurts more than that is when it hasnt happened yet and youre just anticipating it.
And you might see it.
God & Man
People with anxiety are overly observant when it comes to things.
They are programmed to base things on the vibes people give out.
Their ability to read nonverbal communication is impeccable.
Theyve mastered this skill and have picked up on cues simply because its in their nature.
They see little things average people cant.
And sometimes things people might not even notice about themselves.
People with anxiety have a keen ability to understand others.
Because they know a lot of what is said doesnt come out of someones mouth.
They watch everything so closely.
Theyll notice an eye roll.
Theyll notice if theyve said something to make you uncomfortable.
Theyll notice the slightest facial expression change.
Or a change in tone.
They look for patterns in people because people with anxiety like things being the same.
Theyll notice the way you text and how quickly you answer.
Theyll notice the way you talk.
Theyll notice your body language.Theyll notice your habits on social media.
Then suddenly, the second it stops.
Theyll notice if something changes even a little.
People with anxiety are always on guard, watching, waiting, listening for everything.
So when it comes to relationships they can just feel when something big is about to change.
They can feel when your connection is different than it was.
They can feel you pulling away even if you havent done it yet.
They can feel conversations changing.
And while part of them wants to cling and hang on they know the inevitable is letting go.
So they try and do it as gracefully as they can.
But it hurts them every time.
Because after someone leaves they dwell in the past wondering when that shift occurred.
And as much as they understand relationships are all a cycle they still blame themselves for it.
