Good news does not stop being good because you waited a day to share it. When someone is in the middle of something hard, their room to celebrate is genuinely small, and asking for it anyway puts them in a spot where they either fake it or feel guilty. Timing is a kindness, not a lie.

If something great happened and a friend is having a rough week, tell one other person now and tell them later. Watch for the moment they seem lighter. Then lead with their news before yours.
