I go off about my #1 social pet peeve: people who never respond. If you’ve ever called, texted, voice-memo’d, and still gotten radio silence, this one’s for you. I talk phone etiquette (why even have a phone if you don’t use it?), why long text wars are a trap, and when a quick call saves everyone’s sanity. From there, I get into social battery management, honest boundaries with family, and how people-pleasing still sneaks up on me—even when I swear I don’t care. It’s blunt, a little petty, and very real.
Highlights
The “ghosted while you’re home” phenomenon
Text loops vs. one decisive phone call
Setting clean endings to conversations (without being a jerk)
Social energy, gossip fatigue, and saying “no” plainly
Honesty vs. rudeness, and why five minutes of truth beats months of weirdness
