i’d like to be checked in on but also given some space to breathe. i normally don’t like too much social interaction if im going through it

legitimately come up with words for common moods, take all the thinking out of it for him. you can make it your own but in burnout i’ll generally have “leave me tf alone”, “cuddle me” (includes getting takeout and watching a movie together), and “distract me” aka take me somewhere and yap my ear off until i’m laughing. that way you can get an idea of the mood and respond accordingly
