You remind me of myself right now.
I'm very independent, but lately I've been feeling very clingy and needy. It's not like me and I don't like it.
It seems I simply have more free time, and more time alone, and more EMOTIONAL ENERGY than the guy I'd like to be closer to.
I have to force myself to back off and have the CONFIDENCE to know that when he wants to contact me it's because he wants to connect with me and he's not simply feeling OBLIGED to respond to my inquiries.
Distance makes the heart grow fonder (that includes not just geographic distance but psychological distance as well).
Give him a little breathing room during this stressful time. After things pass, he may reach out to you. No guarantees, but if he feels smothered he's likely to push away until he gets the space he needs.
Best,
LB.
