OMG yes! I do this when I'm angry too! 🤣

Definitely the digital body language being described in this chapter is something I've fallen prey to. I've made all kinds of assumptions about something based on how someone responded/didn't respond.

"The idea that we shouldn't have to explain what we need to real friends is a relationship-killing myth."

I can't believe I've potentially had this issue in my relationships and never totally noticed it until now. Like I've had times where I've been like, "she should automatically know this about me! Eleven years of friendship!"

"But our friends aren't mind readers. Even when it comes to something that we feel should be obvious and intuitive like how to show up for us, when we have to realize that we'll never achieve a level of closeness that transcends the need to communicate."

Omg this! ^^ Even in romantic relationships.

I don't think I've heard about the shame around coming off of meds. I don't get it, if you gotta change your regimen then ya gotta change it!

I'll tell you what, not to shade my dad in any way, but my mom did the bulk of like actually raising us. I do feel like I'm a well-rounded individual and mostly cause of the work my mother put in.

Ah, we're finally discussing The Patriarchy.

Forever thankful that social media played a small role in my childhood/teenage years. Can't imagine what it would be like being a seventh grader (or any other grade for that matter) today.

OMG he just sprung this one her!

What has this man not been truthful about? TELL ME NOW.

Why am I scared about this meet up with her old friend. I mean there has to be a reason that she ghosted her.

WHO IS INTERUPTING THIS SEXY MOMENT. HOW DARE YOU.

I can't believe she just came clean about all that.

Harry you are the most confusing man I've ever met. Who says that stuff and then is like, "but we're just friends, yeah?" NOBODY THATS WHO.

They have it so bad for each other that this is hard to read. Ya'll need to just kiss already!

Only men can be this otherworldly in books I swear. Harry isn't real! *swoon.*

And let the fake dating commence!

Oh god, all these messages she didn't intend to send are going to send right? I am internally screaming.

Whoa, this app sounds wild.
