What I described is both possible and commonly done. Again, I'm not saying it's easy I'm just saying how it's done. You might be surprised what worlds open up to you when your social skills improve. Believe me, I used to

As I mentioned in another comment, the main solution is to start small, pay attention to feedback, and escalate if appropriate.

Social skills can be improved, at least in many people. I learned slowly but eventually I mostly caught up.

Whataboutism-style rhetoric can contain valid points, which makes it all the more frustrating. If it didn't, I could just ignore it as propaganda from the ideologically committed. I guess it's just too much to ask for people to br

You live on Sidewalk Labs' property?

by wendyshu 7y ago
