”Hi [name], just letting you know I’ve received your [email/message/text]. I’m [busy/fatigued/in a flare up/etc] at the moment and can’t respond right away. When is the latest you need a response by? Thanks.”

Copy paste social script for when you need to respond to a message but don’t have the energy at that moment. I found this works really well because it lets people know you value their time and their reaching out, that you’ve seen their message and intend to respond, and gives you a concrete deadline.

Sub out words to match your writing voice and the tone of the conversation- I use this for semi formal-formal messages like with sports coaches and landlords. Your landlord doesn’t need to know you are having a flare up but if it’s someone you have a closer but still acquaintance like relationship with you can tell them however much you’d like. Hope this is helpful.

Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

you have to be like 'oh that would make sense!' like you're really excited by their theory, even encourage them to tell you why they think that. sometimes the friend will forget you've already seen the movie if they are really into it and trying to solve the mystery themselves, so itll let the moment pass without you directly lying XD (though the trick for this method is you need to react similiarly to wrong guesses.)

but if they DO remember that you've seen it then you can say 'i gotta be honest, i dont super remember the ending/plot, i just remember (something flippant, like Bikini Babes, or some dudes short-shorts, or lightly elude to a jumpscare that happens soon).'

(is it obvious i only watch horror movies? XD but they usually have twists, so!!!)

this method is not gaslighting or lying about the twist (which i always hate personally, to be told my theory is wrong which ruins the mystery-solving element and my own engagement due to a now-impossible mystery), its ENCOURAGEMENT and DEFLECTION.

then at the end you can congratulate them like 'you got it SO FAST! I wanted to make sure you got to enjoy being right, it was so hard to stay quiet <3'

The Animorphs post where someone referenced their image of me as a child had me spiraling. I was questioning my wife about what their impression of me was as a kid to their increasing hilarity.

Honestly if anyone pictures me as anything other than a tiny feral goblin I have questions. I had moment of high charisma but was largely rabid and wild.

“Like did they get their impression of me from the time I lied about the frog erasers, or pretended I could read? Or when I started swearing? Or when I went feral on my best friend? Or bit that kid on the bus-“

“Wait-“ my beloved interrupted, “You bit a kid on the bus? I haven’t heard this one.”

“Oh.”

“What happened?”

“…I bit a kid. On the bus.” I paused before adding, “Also maybe I scratched him.”

“You scratched him?! How old were you?!”

“…too old.” They stared me down until I admitted, “At least over seven.”

“Jesus Christ, that’s how you get branded as the weird kid!”

I widened my eyes in outrage and opened my mouth in mute appalled fury as they laughed harder and harder. “What. In all our time together. Has ever. Made you think. I wasn’t. The weird kid? What possible story could I have told you that gave you the impression I wasn’t a little weirdo?! I made a kid bleed on the bus! I got blacklisted by several different parents! Of course I was a weird kid!!!”

“You made him bleed?!”

“I was fucking feral! He sat next to me and was mean so I attacked him!”

“Where did you bite him?”

“I have no way of knowing that! I was a barbarian as a child. I might still be, but now I don’t get into fights, so I don’t know. I do know I had to sit at the front of the bus all week.”

“Did your parents get mad?”

“I don’t think anyone told them. That kid sure didn’t. And the bus driver punished me, so.” I paused meditatively while they kept quietly laughing in horror. “No one else tried to sit with me though.”

“No shit! I wouldn’t have wanted to sit with a kid that bit and scratched people!”

“I at least hissed at him in warning before I did it.”

That made them laugh harder and hug my head to their chest. They finally managed to say, “My beautiful freak wife. My feral little goblin.”

the social network script is actually so crazy. what do you mean you jump specifically from your date being a victoria's secret model to asking why eduardo isnt there. for normal reasons

[libertarian-princess]

The best part is, they could google social scripts but they won't.

I feel like in the rush of “throw out etiquette who cares what fork you use or who gets introduced first” we actually lost a lot of social scripts that the younger generations are floundering without.

[violet-phoenix-nebula]

This is easily the most interesting take I've ever seen discussing why the older generations seem to struggle so much with the discussions and changes with gender identity, and I think it's absolutely worth reading.

Obviously it doesn't cover 100% of intolerant people, but I think it explains a decent chunk tbh.

I had a shrink appointment today and while I could not see it I knew my doc was going through the five stages of grief while I explained my fool proof strategy for doing my t shots despite a crippling fear of needles: By abusing my vastly more crippling fear of being an inconvenience.

My mother and I play phasmophobia together every week. she usually has a pretty limited time to do this bc she's like. a doctor and a college professor whos always busy. So I asked her to just. hold me to doing them. We don't start playing until the shot is done. so my needle fear doesn't matter because now it's Wasting™ her time and I have to do it quick. Using one neurosis to defeat another.

It's a horrible coping mechanism because it's feeding the inconvenience fear, but it is definitionally a coping mechanism.
