A shopping centre
You are at a shopping centre with friends. The noise and the lights have become too much.
What could you say?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
I need a quiet ten minutes. I will be on the bench outside the bookshop.
A strong fit
It says what you need and where you will be. Your friends can find you.
Can we go somewhere quieter for a bit?
Also works here
This moves the group. It works if they agree; if not, you can still step out.
Keep walking and say nothing until you have to leave.
Worth a second look
You can. It usually ends the day early instead of pausing it.
What people here usually expect
- Friends usually expect someone to step away now and then. It is not an announcement.
- Saying where you will be is enough. A reason is optional.
- A quiet ten minutes often means you can stay longer overall.
Your words
Write one line telling friends where you will be for a quiet ten minutes.
In the app you write one line here and it lands in your lines. Nothing is graded.
The move this moment practises: Ask for a break.
