Most friend drama looks huge on Monday and silly by Friday. Wait before you burn anything.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Conflict has a loud opening and a short half-life. On the first day everything feels structural, as though the friendship has permanently changed shape, because you are reading a temporary state as a settled one. Most of it decays by itself provided nothing irreversible happens in between. The lasting damage usually comes not from the argument but from what somebody does in the two days after it.

Give it until the weekend before you unfollow, screenshot or tell the group. Write the furious message if you need to, in your notes, and leave it unsent.
