Dear Someone: When someone responds to your openness with silence, they're sending a clear message.

Read this if someone has suddenly gone silent after you've opened up about your feelings and needs, leaving you questioning your worth and wondering if you should beg for their return.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

The sudden silence that follows a heartfelt conversation can be deafening, can't it? You've bared your soul, shared your deepest feelings and needs, only to be met with... nothing. The void where a response should be feels like a punch to the gut, leaving you breathless and questioning everything.

First, let me assure you: your feelings are valid. Your needs are important. Your vulnerability was an act of courage, not a mistake. In opening up, you showed strength, not weakness. Remember that.
