For me personally, I get the same interaction here and on Twitter, it’s not about the platform, it is more about those who I interact with or those who interact with me.

3 good things !
@3goodthings
1. Friend from class chose to go out to eat with me and another friend tonight- moving her closer into an actual friend -rather than a friendly acquaintance.
2. Got a lot of work done today.
3. Today was chaotic in the end and I didn’t get everything done- but I have a plan for improving that tomorrow!

When we want to say "no' to an offensive behavior or inappropriate demand, it's only natural to feel angry. But, anger can blind us. In the rush to say "no" angrily (and sometimes vengefully) it's all too easy to lose sight of the prize: advancing, our interests.

Perhaps the single biggest mistake we make when we say "no" is to start from "no." We derive our "no" from what we are against: the other's demand or behavior. A positive "no" calls on us to do the exact opposite and base our "no" on what we are for. Instead of starting from "no," start from "yes."

The larger problem is the populace doesn’t have emotional intelligence, social skills, or confidence of a stand-up comedian who is self-aware that she’s being heckled by a loser, so she just shuts down, loses the room, and the heckler “wins”

, please don't assume that the existence of the means you know what the person you're talking to needs better than they do.

Doubly so if their problem isn't an engineering one.

I don't understand the part where people are invited to a Zoom video meeting to discuss technical matters and 60% of the participants won't turn on their video cameras.

The whole point of a video meeting is to gauge reactions, get a feel for whether others understand, agree, disagree, etc.

Sometimes my fellow tech people drive me nuts over their lack of social skills.

Dear White People,
The long silence after you ask us for our racial identity and we answer must be uncomfortable for you.

To improve my mental health taking risks in meeting new people. But sometimes I don't know if my mental health complicates issues. One new person I met asked a series of personal questions. She asked what we do for a living, our heritage and dating status. I felt those were too personal. I declined answering questions about my race but answered the others even though I felt uncomfortable. She seems genuine but I am hesitant to see her again.

Reminder that some people, no matter how hard you try to engage with them, will not reciprocate and it’s best to accept that not everyone you know will stay in your life which is okay (regardless if you have history or similar life path/goals). Best to not waste time on ppl who either lack social skills or just aren’t interested in investing in a friendship.

Dear White People,
If you have a compulsion to ask non white people what country they're from, snap the rubber band on your wrist until the feeling subsides.
