Scripts for digital contexts
Language for messages, social media, and being constantly contactable.
Online and by message
- "I don't check messages after work hours, I'll reply tomorrow."
- "I'm taking a break from this group chat for a while."
- "I'd rather not have this conversation over text."
- "Please don't tag me in posts without asking first."
- "I'm going to mute this thread — nothing personal."
You never owe anyone an explanation for muting, unfollowing or blocking. Digital boundaries are still boundaries, even without a spoken conversation.
You might explore these in your own words — there is no right answer, and stopping partway is completely fine.
