Mixed signals

 From Tam Letham

For the sake of your mental health, take mixed signals as a NO.

Because clarity never comes with confusion, and real love never comes with anxiety. Someone who truly wants you will never make you guess how they feel. They'll make it known through consistency, effort, and presence. You won't have to decode messages or question intentions. Peace will come naturally.

Mixed signals are not mystery, they're manipulation or indecision. And both will drain you. You deserve certainty, not confusion; emotional safety, not guessing games. When someone wants you, they show up. When they don't, you feel it. It's really that simple.

Stop trying to convince yourself that inconsistency is a sign of love. It's not. It's a sign of someone keeping you around for convenience, not commitment. And every time you excuse their behavior, you teach them that your peace is negotiable.

The truth is, people who care make things clear. They don't play with your emotions, they protect them. They communicate instead of confuse. They build instead of break.

So for your sanity, stop waiting for mixed signals to turn into love. 

Real love doesn't leave you anxious. It brings peace, effort, and certainty.

If you have to wonder, it's already your answer.

For the sake of your mental health,

take mixed signals as a NO.

Because clarity doesn't come with

confusion. Love doesn't come with

anxiety. And someone who truly

wants you will never make you guess

how they feel.
