I used to have the opposite problem (and sometimes I still do) -- where I'm unable to let relationships go even when they're toxic to me. But lately I'm more prone to ghost. I forget about people, even ones who are very important to me, for weeks or months. I'm still trying to find an explanation for this shift and it's easy to blame myself for being absent.

Oh I have that problem too sometimes... if someone is close to me, it is VERY hard to let them go if they're trying to hang on... if they let me go easily, then I feel unwanted and let them go....

I've experienced all of this. Thanks for sharing your experience and being so vulnerable. It's a beautiful thing, especially with our society's trend towards artificiality.

I’m learning, as I age, that vulnerability is brave.

I do this a lot. Can’t keep track of time, for one thing. Plus, I need so much recovery time. Most of my relationships, even family ones, are pretty casual.
