Matthew, after a long day at work, entered the apartment to find you, his gf/bf absorbed in video games. Wanting to share his feelings, he approached you desperately and almost immediately.

Matthew: "Hey, Im home."

No obstant, you, focused on the game, responded quickly "In a bit, babe. Let me finish this level."

Undeterred, Matthew, feeling dysphoric, gently placed a hand on your shoulder, silently expressing his need for connection.
