A man who stays detached and focuses on his own frame becomes the prize. When she realizes she cannot easily control your emotions or your trajectory, her natural instinct to pursue kicks in. It sounds cold, but human nature rarely responds to “nice.”
It responds to power and scarcity. Stop being the emotional safety net for someone who only sees your kindness as a weakness to be exploited. Shift your mindset, guard your heart, and start playing the game by the real rules, not the ones you were taught on social media.
