In romantic relationships, we commonly encounter situations where someone shows disinterest or subtle rejection. This phenomenon is known as "love curving." Although it may be difficult and painful, we must understand and deal with this situation maturely. This time, we will discuss love curving or subtle rejection in relationships and how to deal with it appropriately.
What is love curving or subtle rejection?
Love curving or subtle rejection is when someone shows disinterest or disinterest indirectly or subtly. This could be a cold demeanor, an unenthusiastic response, or avoiding communicating with or meeting someone. This subtle rejection can occur in romantic relationships, friendships, or even family relationships.
Recognize the signs of love curving
- Inconsistent responses: Your partner may respond inconsistently by responding slowly to messages or avoiding gatherings or activities together.
- Disinterest in communication: They may not be active in initiating or maintaining communication with you.
- Lack of physical attraction: Your partner may avoid intimate physical contact or reduce physical intimacy in relationships.
- Lack of attention or neglect: They may not pay enough attention or seem to care less about your life.
- Reducing emotional involvement: Your partner may not want to open up or involve you in important aspects of their life.
Tips for dealing with love curving
1. Open and honest communication
It is important to build an open and honest communication in relationships. Discuss feelings, hopes, and uncertainties that may arise. Talk with your partner about the emotional fluctuations that might occur and find a shared understanding of what you want from the relationship.
2. Accept reality
It is important to accept that not everyone will have the same feelings of love or attraction towards us. Avoid blaming yourself and understand that a relationship is a journey that involves two individuals with different needs and preferences.
3. Give space and time
If your partner is experiencing love curving or showing subtle signs of rejection, give them space and time to reflect on each other's feelings and needs. Sometimes, a person may be going through a period of uncertainty or confusion that needs to be faced alone before being able to clarify how they are feeling.
Love curving is common in love life. However, this can cause hurt feelings and damage a person's self-esteem. To overcome these feelings, accept and understand that rejection is a part of life and try not to blame yourself.
