So I've been dating a man who shares similar values to me about life and mindfulness. We often talk about philosophy and the things we do to stay aware of our thoughts and feelings etc etc.

One thing I've noticed is that he keeps telling me how much of a calm person he is. I get it, we're both into mindfulness and not stressing. For example, I cancelled our date today because I have deadlines coming out of my ears. He said "it's okay, I'm very relaxed about everything" like... okay?

Another time I asked him if he'd be too tired for a date on that particular day because he'd been working so much and again he told me it's fine, he's relaxed about it.

Is it to prove that he's not that bothered? My thought process is that if we believe ourselves to have certain qualities, we don't have to remind other people of them. It's not like I constantly tell him that I'm creative.

Would you be bothered by this? Am I overthinking it?
