Distance CAN Make the Heart Grow Fonder
Why does it take hardship for people to realize a person’s character?
Let me explain.
Recently, I made a mistake, and I’m the first to admit it. You see, I befriended someone and we got super close and chatted regularly. Then all of a sudden, this person stopped talking to me for the period of a month (this can seem like forever if you talk to someone a lot).
I thought the reason they pulled away had to do with me. I am guilty of this - if someone pulls away or is upset, my first instinct is to believe that I am to blame. These are the thoughts that came into my head as soon as this person stopped talking to me: “I am the one to blame. What did I do wrong? Was it something I said? What was our last conversation?” I was really hurt that they stopped communication.
