sometimes you spend your entire life looking for that one person that gets you completely and that you get completely, instant mind meld, supreme telepathic connection, and then using that you realize they don't like you that much

@laine_writes not sure i have a theory, but being relatively impervious to it, i'd say it's because it signals some insecurity/excessively pick-me behavior that i find unattractive, compared to.. calm? strength? autonomy? someone serene and that doesn't need to constantly show, reverse-needy

@goblinodds i think in some way shy/nerdy/inexperienced correlates with lack of agency/tendency to self-pity/wallowing — which is the real problem. not only unhelpful to solve the issue but also unattractive. particularly looks bad on men considering expectations.
