What does it mean when a person you cut off because of how toxic they were texts you back months later and calls you the nickname they used to call you? Am I thinking too deep into it or are they being manipulative?

you’re not overthinking it. that's a familiarity hook — using the old nickname is meant to trigger nostalgia, lower your guard & slide past the boundary you already set. healthy people respect silence & boundaries. toxic people circle back when they want reassurance, control, or attention. you cut them off for a reason. that reason didn’t expire just because time passed.

Okay great, this makes me feel better about the response I had. I called him out on his lying and manipulative ways and the vibe from him went from sentimental to completely cold. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t thinking too deep. Thank you for your insight!!❤️
