Remind yourself that you deserve to take up space as much as many people. Confidence and owning your space are some of the most manly traits. When you're confident, you can also be ok with whatever amount of alone time you need.

So much this. A commerce company needs peak compute in December and tax companies in March, so why not share server farms? If you extend that idea to a business model, you make a normally internal cost center into an external facing revenue

Just because you are innocent and have nothing to hide, it does not mean they cannot still use the evidence you provide to convict you. Basically, it comes back to the same reason that many lawyers generally advise you to never talk to the
