Dear Timepassages2070:

You wrote: “I truly just want her friendship back in my life. I just wish there was a way to get her to just communicate with me like an emotionally intelligent adult… I truly feel like she has made whatever is going on with her a much bigger deal than it needs to be because she thinks I am going to have some crazy reaction”.

You wrote about her: “She is an excruciatingly beautiful woman who is also an introvert that clearly has some major intimacy issues when it comes to getting close to people”.

Earlier you asked for advice regarding “just shooting her a casual text like I used to about some random thing”.

My current thoughts/ advice: seems to me that she is often on edge, excitable, over-reactive (?)- therefore, I imagine that sending her a casual, soft text about some random thing is your best bet. Anything deeper/ longer/ stronger than that may overwhelm/ over-excite her in a negative way. Does this make sense to you?
