Busy, but sends a quick word
Genuinely swamped
People who are truly busy still drop a 'crazy week, talk soon' to keep you in the loop. That effort is the difference.

REAL DECODES
Busy vs. avoiding, decoded.
“Busy” but active on social
Avoiding
Too busy to text but not to post is a contradiction. The busyness is likely a soft way to create distance.
Never reschedules what he cancels
Avoiding
Genuinely busy people rebook. Canceling without ever proposing a new time is avoidance wearing a busy costume.
Busy stretch, then fully re-engages
Was actually busy
If he comes back warm and makes up for it once things settle, the busy was real. Re-engagement is the proof.

FAQ
More about busy vs. avoiding.
How do I know if he's busy or avoiding me?
Busy people still send a quick word and reschedule what they cancel; avoidance is silence plus activity elsewhere and no rebooking. DearHim reads the details to tell you which.
Should I wait it out if he says he's busy?
Give genuine busyness room, but watch for the tells of avoidance. If the pattern says avoiding, waiting longer won't fix it. I'll help you read it.
Is 'I'm busy' always an excuse?
No — sometimes life really is hectic. The tell is whether he keeps you in the loop and makes up for the gap afterward.
Is this really free?
