Instead, we play games. We hold back information; rom-com style where one tiny omission creates chaos for years which could have been avoided with one honest sentence. Anyway, it is for the plot but I find it stupid. 😂
We create mountains out of small things, let people assume things about us, then get offended when they do, and still don't clarify. Now there are podcasts dedicated to decoding silence, late replies, and “good morning” texts. We even come up with personality types, disorders, and illnesses to describe someone who just won’t open their mouth to say yes or no.
This has gone to almost all areas of life. Eating became diets, detoxes, cheat days, and guilt. Rest turned into productivity anxiety. Friendship grouped into “low maintenance vs high maintenance.” Liking someone now requires strategy, timing, rules, and screenshots for group analysis. Everything is so technical, performative, tricky. So much work for lazy people like me. 😂
