Re: private.
My strengths kind of suck for checking in on people so right now we both have to accept that I have a lot of work to be doing with small talk and consider this practice. I know I should say sorry but I also don't want to lie, so I'm stuck.
Caring about people is the worst because it means losing them matters. I know you know and I don't expect you to have anything to say about it but I guess, just in case you need hearing something you already know, I wanted to say it.
