You know you’re in a secure relationship when silence stops feeling like a problem to solve.
In the beginning, any lull in conversation makes you panic and think, "Oh no, are they bored of me?" But the best shift is when you can just sit in the same room for hours, doing your own separate things without saying a word, and it feels completely warm and safe. Comfortable silence is genuinely a top-tier relationship milestone.

Is there a word for when you think about a word so long it completely loses its meaning?
I was writing an essay earlier and typed the word "between" so many times that it started looking entirely fake. Like, it doesn't even look like an English word to me right now. I know there's a specific scientific or psychological term for this brain glitch, but I can't think of it. Anyone remember?
