🍳 Brunch Boundaries: Am I a Bad Friend? 😬
Our frazzled friend is at their wit's end after a week of non-stop calamities. 😫 With a much-needed brunch on the horizon, they're dreading the inevitable trauma dump from their oversharing acquaintance. 😰 In a moment of self-preservation, they lay down the law: keep it light or cancel the date. 🙅♀️ Cue the Twitter tirade accusing them of being a selfish, unempathetic a-hole. 😠 But wait, let's see what the internet jury has to say about this brunch boundary brouhaha! 🤔 Is our protagonist a shitty friend or just practicing some much-needed self-care? 🧘♀️ The verdict is in, and it's bound to be a wild ride! 🎢
