Say you “stay out of drama,” then check how many screenshots you’ve forwarded this week.

There is a difference between not starting something and not participating in it. Forwarding, reacting, adding the one comment that keeps a thread alive: none of it feels like involvement, because you are not the source. The claim of staying out is doing a lot of quiet work, letting you be in the middle of the thing while feeling clean about it.

Scroll back through this week and count what you passed along. Not to feel bad about it, just to see the number. Then pick one thread and stop the chain at you, which is the actual version of staying out.
