"maybe something else is going on?"
Over-sharing about one's mental illness, "too much information", self-loathing and private details don't help a person's job seeking efforts.
Regardless of one's engineering talent, which ironically is likely enhanced by OCD, there's good and bad choices you can make when it comes to publishing details of your personal life.
Tweets like this "I am a total failure. My entire world is crashing down around me... Fuck the world..."
While initially expressing a moment in one's life, when left published online they emit an unwanted after-image that misrepresents their initial fleeting nature.
Twitter needs an optional expiry date for tweets you mean in the moment but that don't represent your life in general.
"A few weeks ago my therapist I'd had for 18+ months essentially fired me. She said that she didn't think we were getting anywhere"... That info it best left between patient and therapist.
Why do people think their gritty life details read like a Tolstoy novel?
