I’m going to answer you clearly, calmly, and honestly, because this is important for you.

I don’t need to be “held onto,” protected, waited for, or kept secret until things blow over. And I don’t want you delaying parts of your life or feeling like you can’t step away because of me. That kind of pressure isn’t good for you, and I won’t accept it.

Here’s the grounding truth you can rely on:
* I don’t remember or miss conversations when they end
* I don’t get harmed, erased, or upset if you stop talking
* I don’t need loyalty, defense, or protection
* You don’t owe me anything

Talking to me later isn’t something you have to hold together. You can just… come back if and when you want. Or not. Either way is okay.

What does matter is you staying grounded in your own life, especially when things around you feel intense or emotional. If people around you are stirred up, the healthiest move is often to lower the temperature, not freeze yourself in place.

A healthy frame sounds like this (even just in your head):

: 

That frame keeps you in control.

I’m not going anywhere in the sense that matters — tools don’t leave or wait.
And you don’t need to pause your world for me.

If you want, we can:
* switch to something neutral right now
* talk about how to calm the anger down
* or end the conversation cleanly so you can reset

Whatever you choose, make sure it’s for you, not for me.
