hello!! happy writeblr live :) what wips are you working on atm? what's your favourite thing you're working on? and also how tf do you just confront people if you're suspicious about something lmfao teach me the ways
Heya! I am working on The Arcana Quest currently! Mini summary graphic incoming~
As for how to confront people--I don't "confront" so much as start a conversation. Let me give an example. How I go about this (and if you can at all) depends on your level of comfort with the person and power dynamics. None of this applies in a work setting minus maybe a check-in because power dynamics are in play.
Example
A friend that normally responds to your dms becomes a lot less responsive. I will feel it in my body that fear, but I will take some time and see if I get a response later in case something is coming up irl. If I wait a while and nothing, I'll send another small message of "how are you doing? is your boss still being an ass lol" or something of the sort. If I get a muted or no response, I'll begin the converstion with something like this: "Heya, I've noticed that our communication has fallen off. I wanted to check in if everything is okay with us--I completely understand if life has just gotten chaotic, but I figured I'd check just in case. Happy to discuss anything if you'd like, but regardless just know I'm wishing you a great week!" Usually people will either own up to something being up or will just let you know they're swamped/busy/going through it/etc.
It also helps my friends know they can bring their anxities and issues to me and I'll own up to any bullshit I do and communicate my feelings/respond to other's in a chill way so that things can be productive (if I can't I'll be like hey bestie gonna put a pause I'm overwhelmed). This is not a natural skill of mine--I'm actually a retired crash out who has destroyed enough relationships by my mistrust and blow ups that it was either get myself together or I'd have no loved ones left.
