<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

he and i broke up because i have some severe anxiety (together for 7 years; broken up for 1.5 years). he called me saying that he's learning to be less angry and arrogant and wants to understand my anxiety to see if there's some way we can work through it. and we talk about it a lot - it is refreshing because i never felt comfortable talking to him while we were together. but my concern is he's going to start seeing me as "anxiety". like, there's so much more to me, esp in the last year and a half, i think i've found more of myself, am even a little happy despite my flaws. 

last night for example, we scheduled a phone conversation at 11, but when i called him, his voicemail kept answering. i did have a moment of anxiety (which i admited to him) but then remembered how bad the reception is in his basement where he does most of his work. he called me around 12, freaking out bc he thought i was an anxious mess. 

i have told him that i don't need him to cater to my every anxious whim. if we're going to do this right, we have to meet somewhere in the middle. 

anyhow, i guess i'm wondering if there's any way to talk about my anxiety without making it the focus of this tentative communication we have started. (We do talk about other things; but I can see that the anxiety is front and centre even if we're talking about work, interests, stories, etc.)
<bot>: ex opened lines of communication with me; wants to learn more about my anxiety, which is the reason he broke up with me. i'm worried he seems me as "anxiety" and not me as a whole.
