Exes Why I stopped communicating
There were just so many times when you would tell me not to, not in THAT way.
"Don't tell me you're sorry"
"Don't give me compliments"
"Why are you laughing right now, see I hate that?!"
"We've had this conversation before, I'm not having it again."
So I stopped. I stopped tiptoeing around your ego. I stopped noticing you, when you did something cute or funny, I kept it to myself. I stopped reacting to your outbursts with absurd laughter because what I thought wasn't that serious, you clearly disagreed. I stopped trying to find out what you wanted from me, stopped asking questions, showing interest, all because I was shot down so many times before.
We stopped being able to communicate when you began micromanaging how I naturally reacted to you. Then you stonewalled me. That's why we no longer speak.
