Do you find yourself constantly telling others how busy you are? When someone invites you out, is your go-to response something like, “I can’t,” “I’m busy,” or “It’s a really hectic week for me”? Do you follow up with genuine interest or an effort to reschedule—or does the conversation end there?
If you’re always rushing from one place to the next, caught in a whirlwind of busyness, it’s worth asking: how much are you missing by being stuck in this cycle? A hurried excuse is worlds apart from having a meaningful, present conversation—even if it’s a brief one.
Think about it: how often do you avoid eye contact or glance away from others? How often do you skip a smile or a simple hello because you’re lost in thought or glued to your phone? Being “busy” has become a badge of honor, a way to signal importance, as if no one else could possibly have as much on their plate as you.
But here’s the catch: if you’re too busy to connect, those who value intimacy might eventually stop trying to reach you. If you’re a busy little bee longing for closeness, but tired of being brushed off or ignored yourself, this episode is your wake-up call.
