LFMK - Needing space

Sometimes we need time alone. We may want a quiet few moments to reflect, calm down, relax, or think through a problem. It's normal. Be respectful if someone says they need some space. Don't be offended if they tell you this without further explanation. Depending on the day, some people may need only a 10 minute walk in silence, while someone else may want to binge a television program for a couple of hours. Another person may need to take a vacation. We all have different definitions of needing space, as well as it's dependent on the situation. No need to bother them. If you get worried, then send a text if you must, but keep it brief, and only one. The person will respond in their own time and when ready. They may also open up as to why they needed the space, and in this moment it's all about listening and not interrupting. Think about how you would want to be treated. Thanks for listening.
