She says this pattern reflects your own need for validation, not their worth. Real love means being chosen openly, not serving as a secret fantasy.

You're in love with the potential, not the person. You're addicted to the drama high and emotional roller coaster. You're filling a void with someone who is emotionally unavailable by design, and deep down, this isn't about them. This is about you. Craving to be chosen, to finally feel special, to finally feel enough, to rewrite the story that someone else walked away from you. But hear me now, you don't need to be someone's secret backup plan or fantasy escape. You deserve to be loved out loud, claimed, seen, respected. If your mind is racing and you're checking their socials, you're waiting on a text, you're spiraling when you don't get a response, if your soul feels exhausted, anxious, and ashamed of being the other, Or on the sidelines. If you keep asking, why can't I let go? That's not love. That's emotional captivity dressed up as chemistry. And this is where I come in.
