"My time is constrained" and "I am underconfident in my ability to manage social interactions well"
Disclaimer
referring to this point from my "current project" document
on your own, think more about ideology and memes and so on, on how to pitch it better
You clearly still have some insecurity about not being able to manage conversations that go poorly, and not being able to redo them better.
- For instance if I go on twitter and aggressively call for total war, that is not something I can take back that easily (although I can still take it back, with enough effort). Most people are not willing to give that much bandwidth to strangers on the internet to forgive them and shit.
- Or if I behave sufficiently incorrect in-person, that could adversely affect irl relationships too. People are more forgiving irl, they have higher bandwidth. I am still fairly mad and contemptous of people with no serious life missions in particular. I look at them and still instinctively feel either I am in a mental asylum or they are in one, peacefully coexisting feels like a fabricated option not a real one.
- It is not "your time is constrained" or "you are not confident you can manage the interaction well", it is "your time is constrained" and "you are not confident you can manage the interaction well." And, not or.
