Not For Everyone

38. Not for Group Texts + Everyone Has Intrusive Thoughts


Listen Later

It's Caroline's birthday and Jess endured a child who's never heard the word "no" to fly out and touch knees with her. It was worth it for all the announcements in this in-person episode.

The thing about intrusive thoughts is that if you imagine your sister thought about stabbing you too, you'd feel a lot better about the fact that neither of you has done it yet. You aren't your thoughts, and you also aren't your response time to that group text that's been blowing up your phone all day. If you think about it, so rarely does banter in a group chat correlate to depth of connection IRL. Context switching is hard.

That's why Caroline swears by time-boxing her texting, and Jess swears if she just had 4 or 5 hours or years she'd get everything on her to-do list done perfectly. Plus, debating your anniversary with your partner is actually a form of asking for words of affirmation, but isn't everything when you're two girls who talk for a living (almost)? It doesn't mean any one love language is superior to the other.
