Common questions

How do I know when I'm calm enough to reply?

Hands steady, jaw unclenched, breath low. If any of those are missing, wait an hour.

Should I send 'thinking of you' to break the silence?

Only if it's true and not a bait. If it's bait, send nothing.

How do I stop spiraling for next time?

Take the conversation out of the phone. The chronic fix is to handle these in voice or in person.

Want this tuned to your exact situation?

Lovelara rewrites this script for the person you're talking to, the tone you want, and what you actually want to happen next.
