Help has anyone else gone through this? Missing my alone time but still wanting to be with boyfriend.

Do you feel chained to your phone in hopes of facetiming him? (Or whatever app it is that you use.)

I find that the danger in any relationship is losing yourself to coupledom where you let your individual interests slide.

I don't really feel chained when ever we are ready to video chat my phone would ring when he calls we use facebook

If you feel this ambivalent, it's probably a good idea to let this relationship go. You'll have other, better relationships in the future - ones that don't make you feel so confused.

But what if I still love him...?

You can love someone and still accept that it's best not to be in a relationship with them.

But I still want to be in a relationship.... With them...

It boils down to you thinking the relationship is over because you want alone time?

No it's just he seems different

Ups and downs, maybe you being more sensitive to them but just the regular ups and downs?

You are both super young, have been talking for a few months, that... I would not draw big conclusions about it, nor take it as an end of the world relationship, because you are both this young, still figuring things out, still having so much time for everything. Truly.

Yes, fluctuations in relationships are 1000% normal. I think it's a matter of using coping skills to manage your anxiety and not read too much into things.
