Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident

I just assumed it was love, and assumed what I owed because of it, without either of us ever saying it out loud.

If You’re really crap at this just analyse how everyone talk to each other And it’s all just discussion points, rather than telling your story.

For example, if someone talks about a movie, don’t just jump in and talk about another movie, engage and talk about the movie they’re talking about, and if you haven’t watched it just ask questions like what was it about? Was there any good?
