                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi, new here and still piecing things together about my situation. This woman I'm dealing with rarely shows anger but instead uses subtle guilt or "I miss you" messages to pull me back after no contact. It's like she’s testing my boundaries without being outright mean. Can hoovering be this quiet and indirect? How do you even recognize it when it’s like this? Has anyone else experienced hoovering that’s more sneaky and soft rather than loud and aggressive? What helped you stay grounded?]]></content:encoded>
