Everyone is well aware that if they don’t call me within a certain time I assume they’re dead. I’ve learned to embrace the thoughts so they don’t overwhelm me. And talk to yourself each time to calm you down. Think about the facts around the situation (he’s been working like for example) and let them less you to the logical conclusion (he fell asleep); it’s helped me.

He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?
