thinking out loud about the concept of "default person", in the sense of "person you debrief your day with"

in some sense you can only have one of these at a time, since you can only debrief your day first once

you can also have zero/self, or it varies by day/week, or a group

for many people this is a spouse or other romantic partner. or a roommate/housemate

the classic default person image is kind of the dinner table "so how was your day?", but these days probably most people are in touch with their default person throughout the day via chat

If you're really active in a Feed, the feed might kind of be filling this role, which has pros & cons.
