me n my gf broke up n man it sucks.. she’s super sweet n kind n I really loved being w her. I’d ask to come over just to chill watch her fave shows talk abt random stuff n play games together. I told her how much I enjoyed it. I even relearned cursive just to write her a letter on valentines bc she writes in cursive. getting to know her was so fun n in the process I learned a lot abt myself too. it never felt dull w her fr
but thenmy friend was like yo ur doing all the work in a two person job n that hit me. made me realize I really was. we broke up bc I kept bringing up how I needed more attention n effort from her but every time I did we just drifted more. the first time I asked if we could spend more time 1 on 1 instead of always w her bff too. like I love quality time w just us n she knows this. she said she got it but nothing changed. she never really invited me to hang out or play games unless I asked. our convos got dry af n my anxiety was through the roof.
second time I brought it up I reminded her what I liked to do for fun. again she said she understood but still no invites unless it was a group thing. third time I asked I finally got a real answer—she was busy w school n her fam makes random plans. like damn. it took 3 convos n a month n a half to just tell me that?? I got frustrated n for 4 days I just mirrored her energy. when she finally called me out on it I lashed out.. that was on me n I apologized. after that it just felt weird. seeing her in person felt like walking on eggshells. I felt like everything I did was being watched. at that point I just wanted to reconnect w her not even ask for more attention. but yeah.. it led to the breakup
was I inconsiderate? selfish for wanting a lil more of her attention? did I push too hard? should I have just stayed quiet? did I ruin this whole thing? idk I’m just really confused n hurt rn

Wanting Love , Attention and affection isn't Selfish but yes from what you have shared it seems Break up was for best. You were putting in all the effort and the other person wasn't into it
Maybe this breakup was low-key for the best.
Even if it doesn't feel like it rn.
It's not on you for wanting a two-way street. Friendship or relationship.
You tried tho. You def put in the effort
Mirroring energy is a whole tactic.
But sometimes it backfires ya know?
wanting attention ain't selfish.
It's basic human need fam.
that's a whole mood.
Breakups just hit different.
