How affection feels real
All the way in, light, side by side, admiring, or close with room. People miss each other when they offer the wrong one.
What you do when closeness is on offer
Settle, watch, step back, or hover between the two. Attachment, here, is that first move.
Time, a task, or the words
You look after people by spending time with them, by doing something practical, or by saying it.
Naming the worry early
With people who matter, you name the distance, you give them room, or you stay close and hope it passes.
