I wonder how OP is doing.
Threads like these remind me to be careful because feelings can be involved and I never want to hurt someone.
I treat MOST of my high spenders the same and if they stop spending, I still treat them like kings because I appreciate their support and know when they have the funds again, they will be back. Sometimes they never do, but I still appreciate the interaction anyway. Noooo expectations on my end.
There are some high tippers though, that spend a lot and interact a lot because they think if they spend and get my attention, I will look past the tokens to see their awesome personality and will want to get with them. I almost instantly know when a high tipper is looking for cam model fun vs a potential real life interaction. They say certain things and act a certain way. When those types stop tipping, it's easier to pull away due to their lack of understanding of the boundary that they can't buy my actual affection. I almost purposely dial down my attention to get the point across that I am not interested in anything other than what I have to offer, which costs money in exchange for the service. Even when they are actively tipping, I might also be less flirty or open with them if I feel they are going to misinterpret my bubbly personality for interest and hound me to meet up or discuss a potential relationship.
Even if you aren't overly pushing for something more, I think models can pick up on those who are hopeful. I think it's super important to realize, as a member, when you are too lonely and in need of deeper connection or when you unexpectedly feel a deeper connection with a particular model, that a cam model isn't going to fill that need the way you want and you should take a step back for your own health. I really hate breaking hearts. I feel so bad. Sometimes its just a part of the job, though.
Hope OP got through it ok.
