This could become Planet Coaster ' s Shuttle Loop . <| sep |> idk how many people that upvoted that do you think actually know dp <| sep |> Could you elaborate ? I find his skill very niche . <| sep |> And what plants do you hang in the attic to keep bogarts off the property . Hazel ? Or was it an herb ? <| sep |> Maybe they try to pause game and it doesn ' t pause . <| sep |> I ' m a person that lives on my principles and I won ' t compromise them for anything . Which usually means I ' m loyal to the people that are loyal to me . So no I definitely wouldn ' t leave but I ' m sure the 180 in my attitude would force you to leave . Sometimes introverts at least me , anyway can be quite cowards when it comes to this kind of stuff . But you don ' t have to guess too much because he will bare his soul in a way that is more powerful than just talking could show . He ' s a musician , I take it , so his music will tell you exactly where his mind is . If you want to have a conversation with him , talk to him about the music . Introverts often struggle to express themselves verbally so we put it all in our chose form of expression drawings , paintings , music , games , work . etc . It ' s often embarrassing to share these things with people because while they are just things to other people they are EVERYTHING to us . So if you want to talk to him . counsel him . see what he ' s thinking , then look at his music and take it serious . The conversation might end up extract as fuck but it will be the best way he has to explain what ' s he ' s going through . As a side note , you should understand , this is who he is . We are not just the good times or the bad times . we are both , sometimes all at the same time . Saying I love you does not prepare you to deal with this uncertainty . It does not equip you to understand someone who doesn ' t want to be understood . So not only should you understand that ' s who he is , but you should understand who YOU ARE in relation to who he is . Sometimes your rational personality can ground his emotional world and center him and other times your rationality and honesty can destroy the foundation of what makes him tick . It ' s a fine line you walk and you have to be more thoughtful of your choices and how they effect the balance of your relationship going forward . EDIT and at the same time it ' s important that he make the strides to get out of his own way . Sometimes we can get so lost in our own emotions that we fail to consider the feelings of others . That isn ' t fair to you , so on the same hand . saying I love you comes with certain responsibilities from him as well . It ' s more than just words . Words without actions are meaningless . IJS
