Signs You're a Firestorm
Their reply slows down and your brain skips straight to the ending β you've mourned the whole relationship before they've finished lunch. When a something-about-to-start starts dying, you don't wait to find out: you cut first, ceremonially. Unfollow, unfriend, done.
The Firestorm's friction isn't coldness β it's precognition. You keep attending funerals for relationships that weren't dead yet.
Reaching a Firestorm (and Being One)
Getting close to a Firestorm is wonderful and slightly high-stakes: the warmth is enormous, and so is the exit velocity. People learn their reply speed is being read as a vital sign β and start typing scared.
If this is you: the 24-hour timer. Every cut-them-off urge waits one day. You lose nothing β the bridge is still burnable tomorrow β but almost every bridge survives the wait, because the emergency was never real.
What this looks like in real life
β You're the warmest person in their life until the second something feels off.
β One slow reply and you've already held the funeral, written the eulogy, moved on.
β Your block button has seen more action than your send button.
One thing to try: Feel the cut-them-off urge? Set a 24-hour timer. If you still want to burn the bridge tomorrow, fine β but you almost never will.
