Don't know if I belong here....

[Okabe]

I re-read "Sandi's 37 rules" and realized that perhaps I am trying to hard to connect with her when that may be pushing her away. It's hard for me to figure out. I know I am in a better place than most here in that the desire to separate has only been met with an "I don't know" and we are under the same roof, civil and mildly friendly.
This is what confuses me.
She said the problem was feeling lonely for too long with me there (although she has very few friend. she lost both a best friend and her mother in the last 3 years). So I react by inviting her to do thing with me and she declines.
She said I don't show enough affection. So I start to change this and it is met with discomfort.
