Also, your vulnerability is making you look weak in her eyes. This is the crazy truth about vulnerability I have learned - women want men to be vulnerable, but when men truly are, women lose respect and are disgusted by it. So, the important thing here is to understand how to dose the vulnerability. And that works with someone who is open and receptive to you. Your W isn't right now.

I would highly suggest that you work on your emotional health out of sight from her. Don't become a stoic stone-cold dude, but be more collected and calm even when it's killing you inside. I know that feeling and it was hard to do, but if you want to command her respect, that is one of the things you need to do. As you improve your emotional health, it'll become easier for sure. The LL's as I see right now are inconsequential because she is not open.



Absolute gold here.
