@Misfortofurbrth I am happy to answer questions! I am planning on doing both but my doctoral program was non-clinical research & teaching.
I do think completing the program has opened opportunities for me that I would not have had otherwise.
I feel such a relief after defending my dissertation. It does feel a lot more like I have my life together. Defending and also all the class prep ive been doing has been a lot but I feel like i'm starting to gain a new mastery over teaching and preparing class materials that I did not have previously.
@Fordward14 Oh interesting, thats not exactly what I had in mind but yea I guess it plays out in a lot of ways.
I was thinking more about normies and dating and their lack of insight into what their doing or what's happening etc
The thing is that normie types often have very little insight into how or why they do what they do. Because of this when they attempt to explain or offer advice it seems totally unhinged. They have no awareness of what's actually happening and are therefore ill equipped to offer advice or explanations of what's actually happening.
Deeply fascinating but also frustrating to have to deal with.
I should probably try to figure out flirting. I dont think i flirt much. I'm not entirely sure what it is even. I know jehovahs witnesses and our anti-male progressive culture were very opposed to flirting and sexuality, especially male sexuality.
There isnt much resources to help with that. Its just assumed you would do this automatically and that it needs to be suppressed.
