Re: Telling someone I love deeply but who is sensitive that I need some quiet time

Turn. Your phone. OFF.

Kids, those of us older than the cell phone remember a time when no one could reach us because there was no way to do so, but there is no rule or law that you have to be on-call 24/7 just because you own a cell phone. Normalize taking control of your life, turning off your phone when you want to, and not responding to texts no matter how needy and inconsiderate of boundaries the other end is. Because not being in contact 24/7 IS normal, being tethered to another person is not natural.

if you have to, make up an excuse. "oh, my new year's resolution is to have less screen time." "I need to prioritize my health and that means resting when my body says so." "I want to change some habits for mental and physical health so just be warned I might not always answer a text right away." whatever you have to do. and then, for real, do it - stay off your phone, off discord, off whatever social media is sucking your life away.

This comment reminds me of a conversation I read earlier. Someone was complaining about grocery delivery services going away and they were all "but how will I get my groceries??? This is ridiculous!" and people were just replying asking how old they were and what they did before 2020 for food. Ye olden days!

We walked there in the snow, uphill both ways!

Nope, entirely wrong comment here. People have made themselves entirely too dependant on convenient solutions to the point where not having those conveniences for just a tiny amount of time makes their life much more complicated. Making yourself rely on tech or services that can fail you and then being incapable to just do them yourself (like going to the damn store) is an issue. It is not a "we had it so much worse back then, stop complaining", it's "learn to deal with how to do this mundane task in case of an emergency".
And we're not talking about disabled people who can't actually do these things.

I've muted at this point almost everyone excluding some people I don't interact a lot.

My brain screams to answer if I see a message, I get annoyed and frustrated. Not looking at my phone at all is life saving
