Most people bullshit at parties, either by embellishing or by exaggeration. It might not always be about their profession but it is a storytelling technique to make their story more interesting.
It's a poor indicator I'd argue.
- lukan 2y ago"Most people bullshit at parties" Many do, but not most. At least not at the parties I attend. And in my experience, it is a strong indicator. Some might manage, to vent out everything BS at parties, but for most their general attitude about appreciation for truth will show in a private setting just as it will show in a professional one. In the professional setting people just care more about hiding that BS.
- huygens6363 2y agoIt’s their willingness to make up shit to appear more interesting that is at the heart of this. Being interesting or rather, being perceived as interesting, is core to their personality and they think that’s normal, but it is not. I don’t know about “everybody”. It depends on your circle I guess. I know very few of these people and none of my friends are like that. I don’t give a shit about being interesting and nobody I value does either.
