Reposted by @theternery.bsky.socialDr. NerdLove @doctornerdlove.com · 01/10/2026Nobody has the time or energy for that. Most “tests” are nothing of the sort. Most of the time, what people hold up as “tests” are one of three things: 1. A legitimate conflict of some sort 2. A misunderstanding or miscommunication on someone’s part 3. Differing desires for a particular outcome. 1151
