Call me avoidant or emotionally immature, but there are situations in which I’d prefer to be ghosted. If a person with whom I have been on one moderately enjoyable date with goes AWOL, I would rather not have to come up with a polite response to being told exactly why they don’t like me enough …

‘Home renovation shows in 20-30 years will be erecting walls to heal the damage’: People debate the downfalls of open plan kitchens
Cooking is a great skill to have, but it can’t be denied that it’s one of the messier common pastimes. Even when we clean as we go, it can be pretty disheartening to see the pile of dishes that remain at the end of the process. Why, then, do so many of us desire to …

‘Perpetual teenagers. How boring’: Twitter users argue over Seth Rogen explaining why he doesn’t have kids
There are few more seismic choices in life than whether or not you choose to have children, and as a result, it’s rarely a topic that people can be balanced and normal about.

I’ll admit it. I’m one of those filthy Zoomers who hates to pick up the phone. I don’t know why, but something about phone calls just sends my cortisol through the roof and I’d rather avoid it. I’m not a psycho, I pick up for my parents and friends when I can, but I have …

‘Anyone saying that does not have real friends irl’: Twitter users decry the overuse ‘therapy-speak’ in real-life friendships
One of the hardest parts of being in an intimate relationship with someone is setting boundaries. Many of us hold onto the belief that being close to someone means giving every piece of yourself to them, being there for them all the time, and dropping everything when they need something.
