Today, my therapist and I discussed the anxiety borne of being out of touch, for one reason or another, and then finding it hard to reconnect because, the longer you stay away, the more weeks you need recap and catch up on and/or have a really good reason for being out of touch.

I feel like sometimes ghosting is just trying to figure out how to double dutch back into a conversation without having to stop the rope and explain how to jump...

or not...
I don't know how to double dutch.
Which makes this the perfect analogy... and/or metaphor.

What my therapist suggested is one simple text, "Hey, I want to catch up! Do you have time for a call in the next few days?"
Then basically scheduling that shit and prepping yourself for it.

Instead, of doing what I do, which is thinking to yourself, "I'll call them tomorrow" and thinking that for the next month until it's been like 9 months since you've talked and now you REALLY can't come back without a good reason so you have to die from anxiety.

or fake your death like Wes.
