One possibility is that being understood intuitively feels so good that actually explaining what one wants feels like settling for something grossly inferior. There are cultural ideas about what true love is like that can be really destructive, and aren’t any living individual’s fault. It would, of course, be nice if people had better sense than to fall for such stuff, but this may be expecting clear communication from the universe, and I don’t think it’s reliable about that. Sometimes the universe won’t even show it’s angry until it drops an anvil on your head.
Another is that women are sometimes trained to not be clear about what they want—it isn’t nice. I can’t be sure how common this is, but I’ve got a streak of it myself, and I’ve heard other women complaining about it. Having the conditioning is extremely unpleasant (if you want to ask for something but have a high internal threshold to get past to try), and I think the conditioning can produce a background fund of anger which isn’t about the current situation.
I don’t know whether it was necessary to explain this in such detail, but sometimes I get the impression that a lot of the men here are aware of that sort of conditioning in themselves, but don’t realize women might have a variation of it.
Some possibilities about what Alice is thinking:
