Do Not Disturb

Your ability to intentionally block out the world when needed. Used for recovery, focus, or boundary-setting.

Lailah Taylor and Learning to Be Alone

High fit

Do Not Disturb is the ability to intentionally block out the world — for recovery, focus, or boundary-setting. Lailah Taylor had never really used this setting; she described always having someone in her life, always moving toward the next relationship to avoid sitting with herself. After her most recent breakup, she held the Do Not Disturb state long enough to actually hear her own thoughts — and what came back was clarity about her sexuality, her values, and her identity. The setting wasn't forced on her; she chose to stay in it.
