Things are getting serious with your significant other and you want to open up your ALL OF THE THINGS to them but are terrified they won’t understand you like most of the people in your life.
So, instead you try to sabotage yourself knowing well they couldn’t possibly love you for who you are by saying things like, “I chew on my nail clippings when I’m alone.”
You know you’re in it for life when your significant other’s reply is, “Me too” and proceeds to elaborate on their own weird habits while your heart is doing happy backflips.
They won’t know about that feeling you had until weeks or months later, if at all.
