3 Spooky Scenarios and How to Deal With Them
Itâs spooky season!! And whatâs scarier than our millennial anxiety taking over our brains for absolutely no good reason?
Whether itâs your friendâs dry texting thatâs convinced you that theyâre mad at you, your boss scheduling a mysterious âQuick Chatâ where youâre certain youâre getting fired, or your uncle talking politics making you to want to pull out your own protest sign, life can be pretty scary at times. But it doesnât have to be!
Letâs talk about these everyday horrors that send us into a spiral and how to stop letting them haunt us.
đť 1. When your friend just texts you âK.â
The spooky part: One letter, 1,000 possible meanings. Suddenly, youâre racking your brain and making up scenarios in your head of why your friend all of a sudden hates you.
How to deal: If thereâs no logical reason for your friend to be short in their response, donât let one letter send you into a spiral. Theyâre most likely just busy or distracted. To ease your mind, send a quick âIs everything alright text?â to keep yourself from freaking out.
đ 2. When your boss schedules a mysterious meeting
The spooky part: A calendar invite titled âQuick Chatâ with no agenda. Naturally, you assume youâre getting fired.
How to deal: Resist the urge to catastrophize and just ask for context. A simple work chat asking for clarity or if thereâs anything you can prepare should help you get to the bottom of the mystery meeting.
đ§ 3. When Your Uncle Asks Who Youâre Voting For at Family Dinner
The spooky part: You came for the chicken enchiladas, not to start beef at the table with your uncle who absolutely makes it known he doesnât share the same beliefs as you and never will.
How to deal: If he canât listen to your side without wearing his red hat, itâs not worth the trouble. Set a boundary, keep it light, and redirect the conversation.
Friendly Reminder: get to the polls for early voting this week or next Tuesday! đşđ¸ đłď¸
