Your Type
You have an internal emotional ledger that doesn't show — you remember every time who contacted first, who gave in first, who showed up when you needed them. You care more than you express, silently maintaining what you consider a 'fair' friendship balance. This caution keeps you from speaking up easily, but it also makes it hard for friends to know how much you truly care. Try letting that internal care surface occasionally — you don't have to wait for them to go first. When you go first, the results often surprise you.
💡 Did you know?
In relationship psychology, the 'reciprocity norm' is a fundamental psychological need in maintaining relationships — but people who excessively track 'who gave more, who gave less' tend to show higher dissatisfaction in relationship satisfaction research. Loosening the grip on 'fairness' somewhat lets the relationship flow more freely.
