Men love this phrase 😏. It’s short, safe, and makes them feel like they’re still “good guys” 💼. In reality, it often hides a simple truth: “I don’t want to” 🚫. I don’t want to text. I don’t want to date. I don’t want to waste energy on this woman right now.
“I’m busy” sounds noble ✨, while “I’m not interested” is too honest and jarring. And instead of taking responsibility for their “I don’t want to,” many choose a soft excuse 🙃, which saves them from direct conflict and unnecessary explanations.
The irony is that women can tell when a man is really busy 💪, and when he just pushes her to the back burner 📦. The difference is felt in the little things: a truly busy person will find 30 seconds to write a few words, and someone who doesn't care will be "busy" for weeks. The phrase "I'm busy" is a small shield 🛡️. But behind it you can always see: either a man is building his life and valuing his time, or he is simply carefully getting rid of those to whom he is not ready to give it. And this is normal. The main thing is not to confuse the first with the second.
