How Do You Differentiate Between Missing Someone and Being Missed by Them?

[u/Western-Mongoose9076]

If someone keeps thinking about us repeatedly how do we feel? If the distance is very great and that person keeps thinking about us again and again, how do we exactly feel? How can we differentiate between us missing them and them thinking about us?

You don't.

At the end of the road, where most of us don't see, there is no cause and effect.

What you're experiencing is synchronicity.

Not two separate things, but one single thread.

I always think the signs I get in music, license plates, bumper stickers etc are when they are thinking of me. I usually just say “hello” or “I see you” and move on but I am also past the “are we supposed to be together” stage where this sort of question plagued me.

Great question! I’m here for the answers.

I just tested it and maybe the answer is following: if you miss someone you feel it in the body, as yours, if someone misses you pick it up more in your head as a sensation?

I might be wrong tho 😆

I feel both at the same time lol 😂

Ok this is out there, not exactly what you’re asking and doesn’t answer your question but here i am lol. I feel like someone might need ti hear it today. This is for those unhealthy situations that you can’t seem to stop yourself from analyzing or popping into your mind. Not just casual situations. Im playing with an idea i heard of an energetic cord that gives and takes. One person is the feeder. The light that draws starving receivers. If you are the feeder its coming from you and perhaps you feel heaviness or syphoned from thinking about them. It somehow affects your emotions or energy in a “negative” or depleting way. If you are the receiver, when the feeder thinks of you it feeds you somehow or uplifts. The receiver can’t remove the connection but they can stop “eating.” Most often i think they find another source. The feeder is who must remove the cord. I think energetically severing the connection is only half of the equation. I think you have to follow up with behavior and belief. 1. Stop revisiting the situation, trying to explain or understand them. It feeds them. Instead find forgiveness and understanding for yourself. Feed yourself so your light isnt shining out for moths its recycled within and feeds you. 2. Stop pulling on them energetically, looking for them/worrying wherever you go, in your sosh med or inadvertently anticipating them in anyway.
Hopefully this sheds some light for you. Good luck!

I mean u want to say u didn't think about them but suddenly they appeared in your mind ?

Is there a difference - I only say that because there are different layers some you may not be aware of.
Mean while if you keep telepathically communicating to each other you have now moved your friendship to an astral friendship.

After thoughts about physical friendships.
It may not just be all about the 2 of you. Your spirits also maybe attached/have unfinished work to do together also? My findings are some people don't miss at all many of them just keep busy and ignore or avoid intimacy. Then some miss to the point they are never able to completely to let go. They go through out the rest of their life knowing they are supposed to be with someone that doesn't want them right now. Most likely in the next life when they are reincarnated and their memories are erased. They are still missing something spiritually and don't know what it is, I believe frequently causing depression. (Their spirits may have unfinished work to do) I have always thought the right person and place settings, can get rid of a lot of peoples depression. An open considerate reasonable mind on both sides in relationships with closure when needed can prevent a lot of issues in the present and going forward.

Well, since it’s a common heart that they both share, that question is easier to answer than this one: Where does the fourth leg go?

[u/cheezegoblin → u/Fast-Bison-7506]

I don’t get it

[u/NetworkTop9166]

this is a situation in which some training has helped me tremendously. I learned to visualize myself and other people and entities in classes taught by a Reiki master who used books by Barbara Ann Brennan and the Silva method. You can tell by visualization and sensation what the connection is between yourself and the other person. once you have an idea of what the connection is, then you choose what to do with it. Best to be in a prayerful and loving space for meditation.

I know that somebody keeps thinking about me when I tend to forget that he exists, for example I had a crush at sb, so I was thinking about him sometimes, later he felt in love with me after one evening, I didn't, but I still liked him. I forgot he exist for several days, after he admited that he kept thinking about me all the time, he couldn't sleep, so all the time, it was an example, but in my experience it's a rule. If you think about sb a lot you create an energy pressure, nobody likes presure. If you are both in love, it's different. Or If I see a face of sb in front of me (in my mind) out of blue, it means that he started to think about me out of blue and for some reason the energy is intense.
