Now you see, we're in a long-distance relationship, so we hardly ever get to see each other, thus making communication extremely important. Because I need to take a second to answer a question asking about how I'm feeling, or I'm just completely quiet after he's said something, he feels that I don't care as much as I used to; which is obviously untrue.
I've been trying to make an effort to open up more, but it's really difficult, no matter how hard I try.
Could anyone give me any advice to help improve this aspect of myself?
(In case anyone asks, I have no idea what personality type he is, I never got around to asking him.)
