Decoding the texts everyone gets
The thumbs-up react is the conversational equivalent of hanging up. It acknowledges your message and closes the door in one tap — "received, nothing to add."
Harmless on logistics ("on my way 👍"). But react a heartfelt or vulnerable message with a 👍 and it lands as a small cold shoulder — the effort gap between what you sent and what you got back IS the message.
Decode YOUR exact message → it depends on contextThese are the patterns — but the same word means different things from different people. Sided reads your actual conversation and tells you what THIS person means, and what to say back.
