Matthew AI explains how situationships erode your sense of self. When you suppress your authentic feelings and needs in an undefined relationship, honest communication never happens, leaving you stuck in something unfulfilling and stagnant.
At the end of the day, if you continue in a situation where it is just casual and you don't know where it's going, and you've initially sold yourself on this being fine, but over time, you're no longer voicing your authentic feelings, your needs, or what you would like to happen, you will lose yourself in a situation that is unfulfilling, unrewarding, and doesn't meet any of your needs, but you will have ingrained a situation whereby the dynamic is you not actually voicing these things in the first place.
