eschaton posted:yes, and this is a skill you’re going to have to develop to make your way in the world just to add as an addendum when i was younger (pre 20s) i was also very much a quiet communicator, preferred writing etc but learned to have to adapt to it being necessary socializing/communicating is a skill, a VERY important one as it is a skill the way you get better at it is by DOING it. it was agonizing and awkward (“cringe”) but i got it eventually youre cant avoid this as much as you (or me back then) want to, so its better to dive in and make mistakes and figure it out

i had a weird shut in nerd friend that got a lot better by reading pick up artist crap. somehow he didnt seem to fall into the worst elements of it and he basically just came out on the other side as a relatively normal dude who was no longer afraid to talk to strangers?

Stringent posted:japanese style bathrooms are so awesome, i honestly don't understand why they haven't become the de facto standard around the world hell yeah it loving sucked when Hotel Kabuki or whatever it’s called now in SF Japantown renovated all their bathrooms and got rid of most of the Japanese baths when we renovate our bathroom we’re going all-in on Japanese style, at least we already have a separate water closet so we won’t have to build that out

I don't have anything to _show_ for my adult life, but i've had an interesting and fairly rewarding time. I live in absolute comfort and want for nothing but a house to call my own, which I may be able to get into and enjoy a few years in on the tail end.

You know what i mean. Nobody's gonna have to yell at each other in court over anything I leave behind. I have no real footprint as far as normal white tech people usually have by my age.

I grew up in a huge family and that probably influenced me, but I feel weird about talking to people who are afraid to talk to people. like, that's your purpose. You're a social creature. Without other human beings around you, you cease to exist meaningfully.
