  • some people don't want to lose you, but at the same time they don't want to choose you either. and this stems not from their being confused but from the fact that choosing you brings effort, consistency, and responsibility. they don't want to give those. they don't want you to go on your own way, and they don't take a step themselves either. they don't want to see you with someone else, but they don't offer you clarity either. they want closeness without commitment. they want the comfort of knowing you're there, but they don't want the responsibility of you actually being present. and the truth is, they don't want to look like the bad guy. they find excuses that will ease their own conscience, and they want to preserve this clean, clear-conscience image. but at some point you mustn't confuse attention with intention.
