I am terrible at this and it has been bothering me for a while.

When a conversation is not going anywhere, or I have realised I am not interested, I just stop replying. Every time. I know exactly how that feels on the other end because it has been done to me plenty.

The problem is that I sit down to write something honest and everything I come up with is either so vague it is insulting, or so specific it sounds like a review.

What do you actually write? And does anybody give a reason, or is that just handing somebody something to argue with?

What the playbook says about this

Matching threads split into two questions: what to say, and what a silence means. The answer to both is usually further up the profile than the message box, which is why the bio and the tag stack are here alongside the etiquette.

The bio that does the sorting for you
What a like, a view and a silence each signal
Where tags read as desires rather than a rule sheet
