Less so after telling you this story, because I'm seeing your face and it's like making me feel a little bit better, but sure. I also felt a little bit guilty. I don't know if you can relate, but when you do these things and you don't get something out of it, you kind of feel guilty of not being a good sport.

You got to play full on, which is why I avoid putting myself in these situations entirely. Yeah, but it is tough feeling. You know, I kept asking myself for the rest of the week, like, was that workshop dumb or was it interesting, but it just wasn't for me? Or am I just way too cynical and defended to actually get something out of an experience like that?

I just felt like I failed or I don't know. I spent the whole weekend judging and cutting down these people who in so many ways are braver than I am. So who am I to judge them?

Yeah. And that's kind of where I landed with all this at the end of the day. It's perfectly fine to not want to open up and be vulnerable on someone else's terms. Like you're allowed to decide how open you want to be. And if you don't want to be, it doesn't make you a bad person. You're not necessarily being superior.

Yeah, I guess so. I feel like it was one of those experiences where the thing they wanted me to get out of it, I definitely did not get out of it.
