What should I do? I am having troubles with my boyfriend and i'm not sure if I am overreacting or not.?
Okay, this is to all the guys out there. I need an answer from a man that understands my boyfriend or from a woman who has been in my position. I am 19 and a month ago the guy i'm with asked me to be his girlfriend. I really like him and hes my first boyfriend ever. In the beginning he always liked to see me, he always came to hang out and now it seems like hes always busy and he doesn't have time. We made plans a week ago to go for a drive and do some fun stuff together, just live life to the fullest and he canceled them because, and I quote, he said "I am too high rn to even move, I don't think you should come over." Now I am really chill and laid back, but ever since then I will offer up the idea of us hanging out and he will give me this vibe that hes just too busy doing other things. I've never been with someone before and I really like him. I'm really laid back, I give him his space and I don't pressure him ever. If he wants to hang out with his friends, who I have met, I am totally cool with that. I just miss him and when I tell him that he seems aggravated, like i'm suffocating him or something. I have no idea what to do and im kind of scared. I have trust issues from when I was young that have resurfaced because I feel like he doesn't like me anymore but he won't tell me whats wrong. I really like him, but im not sure what I can do to. He tells me that everything is okay, but actions speak louder than words. Am I being too much? Am I doing something wrong?

I think he is taking you and your time for granted. If spending even a small amount of time with you makes him feel suffocated, then maybe he should not be in a relationship with anyone to begin with. He is acting selfishly and rude. I don't think this has anything to do with you. I think it says a lot about his own character, or lack thereof. I do think you are giving him too much of your power if you are always the one making the plans or asking to spend time with him. Perhaps you should start spending your time on things you enjoy doing that don't involve him. Spend time with your own friends and just generally live your life to the fullest without him. Have fun and enjoy life. Let him miss you. Let him see that you value and respect yourself enough to not waste your time waiting for him to decide he wants you around. Don't always be the one to make contact. When he reaches out to you wanting to do something, maybe you will have time for him or maybe your won't. He needs to know you are not at his beck and call. The world does not revolve around him. You deserve to be treated like you matter, not like a convenience or an accessory. If he can't see that then he is not good enough for you.

It seems like he may want to be your bf, but only on his terms. You should consider if he is the kind of bf you'd like because you should be with someone who places value on your feelings and desires and not simply on his own.

like u said action speaks louder than words,sounds like u is wasting ur time,energy..If you feel neglected and lonely because your boyfriend doesn’t spend time with you, it’s time to push the pause button... You deserve a relationship that fills you up and helps you love yourself for who you are. You deserve a boyfriend who wants to spend time with you, who is eager to be with you! The problem is that he is prioritizing other things in his life over you. He’s not making time for you. Can you live with your boyfriend and his choices – without him changing – exactly the way he is right now? Because you can’t change who he is. You can do a few things to do get his attention without manipulating or controlling him, but you can’t change his personality, lifestyle, or habits unless he really wants to change.

you said it right, action speaks more louder than words can ever do
If a man is truly interested in you, like he will make time for you, he will do everything in his hand he can to make you his, he will never ignore you in life....as harsh as it may sound, honestly i think the guy isn't interested in you now, as his behaviour speaks it, i think you are better without him, it's good to be in your own company and be happy; than being in someone's company and being miserable...
Life is beautiful, all i can say is, juggle it while you can, before it gets too let, save yourself from this relationship and break away from him, thats all i can suggest ...best wishes... :)
