It seems like Mayim Bialik is the gift that keeps on giving. In between her commitments as Jeopardy! host and star of Call Me Kat, she's also dishing out relatable holiday advice to her social media followers.

In between working on an episode for her podcast Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, the actress took to Instagram to give folks what she called a "good holiday clapback." As she looked into the camera, The Big Bang Theory actress shared a word-for-word script with single folks who might be approached about not being in a relationship.

"I appreciate you being concerned about my emotional and romantic development," she said in a clip posted on December 9. "That's something that's really private and I appreciate you caring. But I won't be discussing that this evening."

Although Mayim may currently be in a relationship with her podcast co-host Jonathan Cohen, it didn't mean her two cents about romance didn't resonate with her followers. By the sounds of it, many liked her suggestion well and took a moment to thank her.

"Thank you, I always stay silent. But I will use this one. 📝," one person wrote in the Instagram comments section. "Direct, yet friendly. Perfect!" another follower replied. "👏👏👏👏👏 good answer🙌🙌🙌🙌," a different fan added.

While the Blossom alum is busy giving pointers on how to navigate personal conversations during the holiday season, that's not the only relationship she's opened up about on social media.

Back in November, she shared with her podcast listeners what life is like raising her teen sons Miles and Frederick (whom she shares with ex-husband Michael Stone), along with the mantra she uses in order to build a strong foundation with them. She has also opened up about single motherhood by jokingly demonstrating what it's like to have a "mom moment."

In other words, Mayim is an open book in her own way.
