An introvert’s mind is like a vast ocean: What you see on top of the surface is a lot deeper than that.

Alecsee, your past relationships seem to form as ghosts and you’re battling the turmoil. I’ve read everyone’s responses on this thread and it sounds like these relationships that you did your best in have ran their course. My understanding is that your introverted girlfriend wanted to please you in regards to moving the relationship forward. However, she was too afraid to be assertive for herself. Given the fact that her father has messed with her self-esteem, that could definitely be a factor as well. Give her the space to be her own person. Let her know that you love her and that you will do anything for her. Just be sure not to cross any personal boundaries.
