Boundary text example at the end of the video! Be cautious and protect your peace¶

A nostalgic, low-accountability reach-out from an ex is a breadcrumb, not a genuine bid for connection -- send a boundary text to force clarity.

Key points¶

Breadcrumbs combine casual contact, nostalgia, and a vague apology without real accountability.
Recommended boundary text: acknowledge the reach-out, state you are not reopening the past without real accountability and clarity, and ask them not to just say hi.
If the reach-out is genuine, they will push through the boundary text; if it is a breadcrumb, they will go quiet -- either way you get clarity.
