I watched When Harry Met Sally recently, for maybe the fourth time, but it was the first time I understood why Sally finally breaks down about her relationship with Joe. She believed he didn’t want something in general, but when it came down it, he just didn’t want it with her. I didn’t understand it in the film previously, but somehow, I’ve always been expecting it. When you say you don’t want something, I obsess over the idea that maybe you just don’t want it with me.

Maybe that’s still my tendency to over-analyze, or maybe it’s a realistic concern.
