As usual, Twitter is Big Mad about yet another divisive take. This time, it's about setting boundaries with friends.

Writer Melissa Fabello posted a thread about establishing limits when it comes to discussing difficult issues. Instead of expecting a space to vent about personal drama, Fabello says, she appreciates when friends ask for it.

"Asking for consent for emotional labor, even from people with whom you have a long-standing relationship that is welcoming to crisis-averting, should be common practice," she tweeted on Monday.

She concluded the thread with an example template for asking friends for time and space.

Soon enough, it became a copypasta.

The bottom line: Sure, you could use this template, but you might come off as a bit of a dick. Telling your friends that you're simply going through it and will respond when you can can work too.
