i get so anxious with my boyfriend, i haven't asked because i am afraid of the response, but my instincts tell me i'm "emotionally-high maintenance". I truly care about him, yet sometimes i am afraid of showing him just how much i care for fear of him perhaps not caring as much as i do, or maybe even at all. It's hard re-learning how to trust people, guys have been jerks to me in the past, thus i am unsure of how to deal with this great person. I get anxious and go on crying spells when he does not contact me for more than a day or two, even though i fully well know that he's just not a talker...(and it never occurs to me to just text him).
Thus in short, yes, it affects me, but i try not to let him know just how much, i'm not sure how he'd react to it...i fear he'd run for the hills if he knew just how much i care for him and how much this relationship roams around my head...constant anxiety, happiness, good anxiety,bad anxiety, anxiety, joy,...but maybe that's normal. Idk, i suppose i should just learn to ride the waves.
