• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I have better social interactions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been in your shoes before. Been there for a long time, years. This is not about knowing how to ask questions. It’s about anxiety and self image.

  Maybe you’re seeing yourself as the new guy or as the introvert, the weirdo, the different. Try to not fixate on it.

  I have two tips:

  1- Accept that you have a personality, some will like it, some won’t. Instead of asking or faking interest, look for the people you find genuinely interesting and share your stuff with them. Small stuff, don’t need to overshare or be egocentric. “Today I saw something on youtube, …” “I don’t drink coffee because one time I…” “This new project seems interesting, I wonder if…”. That’s how the conversation picks up and you develop a connection.

  2- There is a hyper-extrovert in the group. Just avoid him. It’s impossible to be around these people, they get frustrated when someone is not engaged in the conversation enough and they’ll start to be mean.

  Mate, let’s first focus on getting you better. Nevermind how the parents would react, parents aren’t there forever and their reach on our lives can only go so far. I know in Asian culture things can get nasty, but at the end of the day there’s just you and your sense of self. It gets better as you age and get to know yourself more and work through the issues left by trauma. But we need to get away from the morbidity aspect, that’s not good for you.

  Sorry, I’m not trying to be your therapist, but there’s some relatability in your words, I feel an impulse to help.

  Hey, can’t go have coffee with you because the water’s been cut and I can’t shower after the big dump I took. No flushing either =D.

  (that’s how it went in my mind)

  It can be overwhelming, yes. But it’s not difficult. A bunch of dumb people go through it every day and they get to their destination just fine. =)

  Don’t worry about anxiety, once you get there just focus on the next thing that needs to be done at any given moment and you’ll be ok. You’ll find that the brain gets into a problem-solving state and you’ll be landing in Korea before you even notice.

  How dare you!

  Bear trap on their path, run back to cover.

  You got horny didn’t you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did orthopaedists started to use plate and screws to fix broken bones ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s human fossils where it’s clear they poured molten bronze or something into a mans skull to patch the broken bone. Using metals to mend bones has been a practice since ever basically.

  Survived but with complications

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In your career, have you found a drama free workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and it was my first job out of university. Incredible. It has set the standard for me. Everyone extremely polite, restrained, no oversharing, no politics discussions in the office, no drama. People would just gravitate towards those that shared their views and would have coffee breaks at different times than other groups. Everyone was painfully aware of how bad these things can get, so we all made an effort to keep the environment light.

  Look at them prudes implying that sex is not a beautiful and natural thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get over my ex?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Good, write another one of these in a couple of months instead of stalking her and you’re set.

  But really, you’re young, that’s how these things go. Don’t overthink it.
