@RowdyGeoff@essendonfc IMO trucks treatment was piss poor from the club, he got us into the finals then missed out a year later. Him saying he "deserved better" in that press conf. shows that there are deeper unaddressed problems in the club
Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.

no need for a halloween costume this year because there’s nothing scarier than being in your mid 20s and not knowing who you are or what you want to do anymore
@cubwrld@BigAssScoop@cs2_coco a game that I've enjoyed for over 10+ years, it was alongside my dream/play inventory. I didn't buy it looking to invest, was simply just for the love of the game 😿
