Read Receipts Aren’t Love: Texting Anxiety in Relationships


Listen Later

Read receipts aren’t love—and texting anxiety in relationships can make silence feel personal. In this episode, I break down why response time triggers overthinking, how the checking loop steals your peace, and what to do instead without playing games.

In this episode:

  • Why “no reply yet” feels like rejection

  • How read receipts fuel anxiety

  • Practical boundaries after you hit “send”

  • Scripts for asking for clarity without conflict

  • A calmer way to hold the pause

*This podcast is for education and support, not medical advice.
