The ‘Available 24/7’ Pressure

"Just because we’re always reachable doesn’t mean we’re always available."

Neha was exhausted. After a long day at work, she put her phone on silent and finally relaxed.

But within minutes, messages started pouring in:
📲 “Why aren’t you replying?”
📲 “Are you okay?”
📲 “You were online five minutes ago!!!”

By night, she had seven missed calls, three ‘Are you mad at me?’ texts, and one ‘Did I do something wrong?’ message.

All because she took a break.

The next day, she set clear boundaries—her time, her rules.

Moral: Being online doesn’t mean you owe anyone your constant attention.
