It's... scary sometimes, reading comments like these.
On one hand, I identify with what you've written here. I too had issues (still have) with working on a team.
On the other hand, I find myself identifying with someone with clear narcissistic tendencies, or at the very least is supremely unaware of themselves.
Why write this little confessional here, a place that's clearly not about you or your specific issue? Why couch it with tons of "but I didn't actually do anything wrong" notes? Why write it in such a rambling, stream-of-consciousness style? Why put these weirdly specific anecdotes, and why would the reader (who is the reader, by the way) even believe you?
I see these comments, and I get scared, because I recognize that this is how some people view me, and that's... not good.
- wppick 8y agoIt's... an anecdote. It's very related to the linked article, and adds insight into what the industry is considering toxic. You must be very easily scared if a personal anecdote causes this kind of a reaction from you.
- diminoten 8y agoYes, I am easily scared by strangers on the Internet espousing clearly deranged, off-tilt rants that remind me of some of the shit I say.
- exolymph 8y agoI vouched for this comment — previously it was flagged and you had to have showdead enabled to see it. The last sentence is a tad aggressive, but no more rude than statements from the person they're corresponding with.
