Oh, man. Too long ago, as far back as 2010, when I had graduated into the financial crisis and got a job doing tech reporting where I had no idea what I was doing.

This was like a heady time in the tech industry. Now it seems like crazy long ago, but this was before Facebook went public, before Twitter went public. The questions people were asking around social media was, is this going to be another MySpace? Which now is like ridiculous in retrospect, but like it very much was this thing where people were curious if this was going to be a fad or not.

Mark had not done a ton of these giant on-stage interview things. Like, his handlers knew that he was uncomfortable doing press, hated doing press, and tried to keep him in a contained, protective environment. But they were starting to get attacked for privacy stuff, and he had to, as CEO, defend himself in public.

Zuckerberg is sitting there, and one thing he... I'm not sure if he's ever publicly addressed this, but privately, and it's been written in some books, like, he just has a sweating problem when he gets nervous. Like, he just starts... perspiring when he's all in his head, when he's got cameras all over him. I actually relate to this. I have this similar thing in person.

Like, now I just sort of say, hey, by the way, I'm going to start sweating if I get nervous, and it diffuses it. But he definitely did not have the ability to acknowledge it. He just sort of, like, goes into anxiety mode and melts down.

And I think he, obviously he's like mortified. And like, it goes horribly on pretty much every level for him because of the optics.

I think, based on people around him that I talked to, just based on my experience over the years, that really, this is a strong word, but I think it traumatized him, honestly. Like, this becomes him in the public eye, and I think that bothered him, and there's no real way to escape it.
