"No, but I have some personal issues and need some space for the time being, I hope you can understand"

Say you don’t have the emotional bandwidth to help them out right now/talk to them right now. It doesn’t put the blame directly on them, but it does let them know they are demanding a lot of attention/ emotional attention at that moment.

Being annoying is subjective, and maybe to other people it would be fine.

Say "no" in such a sarcastic way, that they're able to come to the conclusion on their own? If that makes sense.

You could also try "listen, you're not annoying, but I have a lot going on right now and I would really appreciate some space so I can focus."

There is absolutely meaning. It is found in Jesus Christ the Son of God

Four days until Christmas.

I go to the gym and try to life more weight the the previous week. XD and I eat yummy foods 😋 and try to find better food then previously

Or you could download a "Task" app and use that.

I keep a pinned note in my notes app for gift ideas. Seriously helps

I'm sending this to my fella 😀

This or a notes app note with gift ideas works as well.

What a relief. For a moment there I thought you were going to accuse me of being an immature emotionally needy manchild who is clueless about why anyone would dump him.

Agree with the second one. We are just a particle in the universe, we can do whatever we want (between the social norms required), that is a good-feeling.

WOW! Most excellent 👌

I hope that many embrace the concept.

Knowing that someone is thinking of you all year long is an amazing gift.

There's a country song that sums it up for me:

I'm not here for a long time; I'm here for a good time.

"Here's an LPT (Life Pro Tip) for anyone who needs to call out of work: take a screenshot of your boss's response or any relevant information and send it along with your message. This can help provide evidence that you followed proper protocols and can also serve as a record in case there are any misunderstandings or disputes in the future. Just make sure to redact any personal information or sensitive information before sending the screenshot.

Take the statement, "Nothing in Life matters."

And you can interpret it in two ways.

1. Why should I do anything because nothing matters?

Or

2. Oh my goodness how freeing it is that I can do anything and create anything because nothing matters.

Once I understood this distinction it freed me up from existential dread and allowed me to focus on creating my reality.

People deserve a conversation, answers and an explanation when they’re being dumped. Closure can help both parties move on.

Make sure to align on the intention of the conversation beforehand though. The intention should indeed be closure and to have any open questions answered. There is nothing wrong with having that dialogue with an ex-partner.

Be sure though that the conversation remains objective and constructive. You are always able to set a boundary or end the conversation as soon as you notice it shifts from constructive closure towards blaming, guilt tripping or trying to win you back.

If an ex-partner already has the habit of doing the latter then sure, you can deny them the conversation as a way of protecting your own mental health. Though don’t deny through stonewalling and/or ghosting, but respectfully let the other person know you do not feel comfortable engaging in further conversation with them and explain to them why.

It’s really dependent on the situation I’d say.

Or....novel idea...you could just go to work like you're supposed to

That just shows that you didn't care in the first place and can't make emotional connections.
