Original Advice
“You are allowed to... take space and still care - Step back before you snap or explain. Send a simple heads-up, then decompress without apologizing for your bandwidth. Respecting your limits is responsible, not cold—and you don’t owe guilt for protecting your peace.”
Send the Text, Take the Space
Your mood is a weather system. When it rolls in, you go silent, then punish anyone who knocks. That’s not mystery; that’s mess. Say you need an hour, then disappear. Don’t draft a thesis. Don’t ghost and call it freedom. You’re not cold for stepping back. You’re careless when you make others decode you.
Your brain runs on circuits, not tides. When your battery redlines, your words short out. Clarity prevents collateral damage. A six-word heads-up is maintenance, not melodrama: Going offline, back at 7. Then log off. Drink water. Fold laundry. Let your voltage reset. Boundaries don’t shrink love; they keep it from burning out. People trust you more when your exits are labeled.
