Well to be sure, but let's not forget the fun 3AM panic of "oh dammit, I should've answered..."

yeah the brief bursts of shame do happen around the clock really

It’s always good to have something to look forward to.

I'm trying a new trick of telling myself that actually answering the email is an unpleasant but necessary self-care task. Like unclogging the shame drain.

it does feel astonishingly better after honestly

I feel seen. Why do we do this?

I'm on day 13 of staring at an email asking me if I'd like to participate in something that probably I would but I'm not sure so I'd just like enough days to think about it until it's too late to say yes. My response is ready when they ask: I'm so sorry I must have missed that email.
