“I’m Busy” = Not Busy Enough for Who She Actually Wants

We’re all busy. But when she says “I’m busy” with that clipped delivery, what she means is “I’m not busy for you.” She’s got time, just not for whatever you’re offering. Harsh? Yes. Honest? Even more.

Being busy is the polite way of saying you didn’t make the cut. She’s not buried in work, she’s prioritizing someone or something else. And unless you’re holding tickets to her favorite artist’s sold-out show, you’re not jumping the line.

Final Thought: Time is currency. She just declined your payment.
