Love does not keep score. A thread #🧵
Control does.
Keeping score in #relationships isn’t romance. It’s behavioral accounting, and science knows exactly what that is.
🧠 What real psychology says
Healthy attachment is built on #trust #reciprocity and emotional #safety
Not ledgers. Not tallies. Not “I did this so you owe me that.”
When someone keeps score, they’re operating from:
#Insecure attachment #Fear of abandonment #Low emotional regulation Need for #dominance or #leverage
That’s not love. That’s anxiety wearing a crown.
