I mean, I think it's like, you know, these stories are actually not that uncommon.

It's interesting.

I mean, I know you.

I get you.

And also, as a formerly socially inept gamer who literally developed a lot of social skills by becoming a psychiatrist and formally studying the system of human interaction, sometimes that's what it takes.

I mean, many of us are oblivious.

It's so funny because...

know a lot of like so sometimes i'll we've done work with meta and google and youtube and stuff and it's it's a lot of fun to to go there and put on workshops or whatever um and it's interesting because like a lot of the these people unfortunately i mean hopefully not these people but there are a lot of people in our broader hg community who like work at places like this right or in tech we have a bunch of like software devs like in our audience and stuff like that and a lot of them struggle socially

And, and I think that there's, I've absolutely seen, and we've seen kind of this track of like, I'm going to use a certain kind of making it in tech, right?

Like we all want to make it in tech.

I'm going to use that as a substitute for social skills, flirtation.

Here's how I'm going to flirt with you.

I am, I have a job at Instagram.

Oh, isn't that, doesn't that get you all hot and bothered enough?

Yeah.

Right.

Oh, oh.

Dude, huge thank you for doing that.

Because I think one of the challenges is that, like, you know, for people like us, it's hard because we don't know how to learn.

Right?
