Cortisol Spikes

If every time I interact with you it's going to raise my blood pressure, elevate my cortisol, and produce a physical headache, then I'm no longer going to talk to you (for the sake of my own health). I'm not demanding that you respect my personal health, or even asking that you do. However, if you don't prioritize my health as an individual enough to avoid actively and routinely contributing to unwanted stress and if it doesn't bother you that we don't speak with each other anymore, then I will simply block your phone number. 99% of the time you're "unavailable" or "too busy" anyway; you continually choose to leave no room in your life for designated members of your immediate family and voluntarily overwhelm yourself with work instead.
