About this episode
Rosie reflects on her thoughts and stress while waiting for a friend's response, realizing the stress comes from her own interpretations rather than the silence itself.
While waiting to hear back from a friend, Rosie notices how fast her mind starts spiraling. Did I do something? Are we weird now? But as she sits with it, she eventually realizes the stress isn’t really coming from the silence, it’s coming from all the meaning she’s attaching to it. Learn more about your ad choices.
