Black Cat Zoning Out

Goes offline · Looks the same either way · Self-charging

Day to day — You go offline. Not asleep, not upset, lights on and nobody in for a while. It is the cheapest recovery anyone has, and it happens whether or not you scheduled it.

Blind spot — From outside, resting and stalling look identical. So people stop asking, and the times you genuinely needed someone to ask get filed with the times you were fine.

Up close — The question you get most from people close to you is what you are thinking, and usually the honest answer is nothing. It sounds like avoidance. It is not.

At work — You hold up well in work that lets you be alone for long stretches. Meetings and anything that needs you ready to answer drains you fastest.
