Initially, I read the title as "Stop crying about my titles", and laughed when I realized what it was supposed to be.

had a cellphone for 10 years at least and didnt have a phone plan. nothing. slitch. (long story,I got kick off the family plan) people would ask for my number and I would have to explain to them... even if i had my phone out. so awkward and i would just have to laugh it off. I do have a plan now, but then next time i get the creeps or just simply dont want to give out my # 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
