Sometimes, the reason I want these characters to communicate well is because I can't do it myself in real life. haha. I just realized that now after reading your comment. I'm 30 now and I can relate when you mentioned about avoiding confrontations. I do that, too, because I'm afraid how it'll turn out (and sometimes I just can't be bothered).
Hahaha omg so true!
I had a whole thing typed out and idk why it didn't attach. Wtf. Lol.
I was saying that I'm happy to meet another fellow 30 year old!
That fear you mentioned is so on point... It only makes it worse too by running away and avoiding it.
This is so sad. I relate to both. I was pretty promiscuous when I was younger but I also was extremely insecure and my mind constantly caused me to second guess myself and often jump into conclusions.
I'd avoid confrontations because I was afraid. Hell... I'm 32 and I still once in a blue moon, fine myself doing this, unintentionally. I run away from my problems and drown my worries in books and stories. It's a very hard habit to break.
I hope they'll communicate! I feel like it's gonna get worse before it gets better. ____(=/) /¬_) ___
