Wow, a lot of the “grow up” input I received from youth on was to stop being selfish and only thinking about my needs. And I found treating other people’s opinions as important to be really useful in being married and raising kids. Social groups must have highly variable definitions of adult behavior. However, my camera is off when I haven’t had time to take a shower, a dashing down the hall for a bio break, and many other times. When I talk with my hands too, my camera is definitely on, and I appreciate the nuance of others’ facial expressions.
