Original Advice
“DONT: Ghost when emotions rise; schedule space instead.”
Schedule Space, Don’t Vanish
Disappearing when feelings spike is not edge; it’s escape. It reads as selfish panic. Your vanishing act protects your orbit, not the connection. Silence turns small sparks into wildfires. You don’t need to amputate to breathe. Name the interval. Put a pin in the plot. Choose a clock over a smoke bomb. Precision is care. Control your exit, and you keep the bridge standing.
You prefer clean lines over dripping sentiment. Control calms you; storms embarrass you. Ghosting feels elegant because it avoids the mess and keeps you superior. It also drains trust, interest, and sex from the room. Structure is the antidote. Give your nervous system air without erasing the other person. Timebox the pause. Put a return date on your independence and watch conflict shrink to fit it.
Cosmic Context
Fixed air sees the grid, not the tears. Uranus rebels, Saturn signs the logbook—state your downtime like a professional.
