abozemoj Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Maybe you lack certain empathy skills? That can cause some serious issues if you aren't able to understand what others are feeling! 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey That's an interesting question. I'm wondering, are you asking what she actually means, or why you think you have trouble connecting with people?

The first thing that comes to mind for me is that she could be talking about the way in which you build relationships and find common ground with people. People who have difficulties connecting with others may feel like they are lonely, struggle to build friendships, feel like they don't fit in, and think that others don't want to talk to/get to know them. What do you think? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monsoon Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Hello Laura, That does sound really traumatic, and I'm glad that you are out of it now. I'm wondering, before you got into a relationship with your ex, what was your life like? How were your connections with other people?

We all process and move forward differently so it's healthy to say if you are feeling pressured or rushed. Do you feel like you could have this conversation?
