Summary: If They Wanted To, They Would

Stop making excuses:

For why:

They're not:

  • Texting you
  • Making plans
  • Following through
  • Putting in effort
  • Choosing you

If they wanted to:

They would.

The Excuses We Make

"They're busy."

Too busy to text for 10 seconds?

"They're going through something."

For six months?

"They're bad at communication."

But they communicate with everyone else?

"They're scared."

Yet somehow not too scared to keep you around?

Stop.

The Truth

People make time:

For what matters.

If you mattered:

They'd make time.

Simple.

What "They Would" Looks Like

They would:

  • Text back
  • Make plans
  • Follow through
  • Show up
  • Put in effort
  • Choose you
  • Be consistent

If they wanted to.

Since they're not:

They don't want to.

What to Do

Stop:

  • Making excuses for them
  • Waiting for them
  • Giving them chances
  • Convincing yourself

Accept:

If they wanted to:

They would.

They're not.

That's your answer.

About 4Angles: If they wanted to text, make plans, or show up—they would. Stop making excuses. If they're not doing it, they don't want to.
