She is not abandoned



She is one step at a time, sending herself away

On the day the relationship truly collapsed, there were no arguments, only a message.

“What are you doing?”

He didn’t reply, not because he was busy, but because there was no urgency.

She stared at the screen, her heartbeat faster than the candlestick chart, so she added:

“I miss you so much.”

This isn’t a declaration of love, it’s the first shot of panic.

There is a cruel resonance effect in the crypto world.
When the market drops, people start to panic;
When people panic, relationships begin to double down.

She watched her account’s floating loss while staring at the blank chat window.
So the messages started stacking up, like leverage.

“Can you understand me?”
“Why don’t you reply to my messages?”
“Am I bothering you?”

By now, she was no longer waiting for him,
She was waiting for proof that she hadn’t been abandoned.

Finally, he responded.

“Just busy.”

Four words, without explanation, without emotion, without comfort.

She knew deep down that everything was already wrong.
But she chose to keep going anyway.

Because in the crypto circle and in love,
People’s biggest fear isn’t losing money, it’s giving up.

She started masking her humility with maturity.

“You’re really so dismissive.”
“It’s okay, then you go ahead and be busy.”
“Get some rest early.”

It looks decent on the surface, but in reality, she’s gradually giving up her dignity.

It’s like knowing the trend is bad, but telling yourself:
Just wait a little longer, maybe it will rebound?

The real death zone is ahead.

She began asking about identities.
“Who is she?”
“Do you really like me?”
“You weren’t like this before.”

She scrolled through chat histories, promises, screenshots,
like flipping through white papers in a bear market, trying to prove: I didn’t get the wrong person at first.

When she finally sent the last message, her hand trembling:

“What is our relationship now?”

This relationship was actually settled long ago.
But she was still alone, constantly doubling down.

The crypto world teaches you stop-loss, position management, risk control,
but no one tells you one thing:

People who endlessly double down in relationships,
end up in a worse situation than a margin call.

All those 15 sentences essentially mean only one thing:
“Can you prove I am still worth wanting?”

When you start speaking like this, you are no longer in love,
you're begging for something that’s leaving to come back.

Remember this harsh truth: any relationship that requires you to repeatedly prove yourself,
has already stopped considering you as the core variable.

Just like prices, once you start staring, questioning, and fearing loss,
you’ve already positioned yourself for being harvested.

She finally understood later on.

It’s not that she’s not good enough, it’s that she’s using loss-aversion thinking to approach love.

A good relationship wouldn’t push you to send a whole series of self-deprecating messages.

Just like a good trade, it wouldn’t make you lose your dignity.

If you’ve been in the crypto world long enough, you’ve surely seen this ending.

Maybe, you are just that nameless person in the story.
