Bro, causal or casual, the yu jimin fic, was heavy af...
Like I know myself as secure when it comes to relationships and reading causal or casual, im about to call it my relationship with yu jimin cause I don't know which is technically right, makes me think about the other perspective of people who were very insecure. I've always read these topics like, those people discuss it as like toxic relationship but I don't think they've never delve deep as too why they act that way y'know. It sorta opened my eyes to it cause I got a friend who had a partner like this, who is every insecure about stuff and would always ask them about things like do they still like them, like they need the constant reassurance and at first I was really annoyed with the person but I couldn't show it, of course it was my friend's relationship, i didn't want to ruin it. But reading this fic, like I appreciate it so much. Cause i've never put myself in other people's shoes when it comes to relationships like this cause I can't understand the root of their behavior but this really showed the deeper sense, of what she was feeling, why she felt that way, the way you wrote it was so beautiful that I could feel my heart scar. I really appreciate your work, and I hope you continue doing so. All the best for you!!!
I’m glad my work helps you understand. I get what you mean about being annoyed by someone who constantly needs validation and reassurance. I wrote this based on my past relationship with a girl who acted the same way Y/n does in Casual—needing reassurance. Of course, it was my first relationship, so I wasn’t much help, but it was definitely a different experience. I had to navigate what it meant to be with someone who needed constant emotional support while I, on the other hand, am someone who doesn’t really seek or rely on reassurance. It created a dynamic where I often felt like I was responsible for keeping her emotionally stable, which, in a way, was overwhelming at times.
When writing Y/n, I tried to capture that feeling—the mix of insecurity and the realization that, for the first time, you’re responsible for considering someone else’s emotions in a romantic context. It’s a huge shift from friendships, where emotional support isn’t always as demanding. That’s why I wanted to explore the question: Is it okay to confide in your partner just because they’re your girlfriend? Or is there a balance that needs to be found between seeking reassurance and maintaining independence in a relationship?
