And even if one of them isn't like, totally thrilled, it's not like everyone in an agency has to be best friends with each other to get along and work together.

Re: 244

... No, not in an agency, normally.


But here..........

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

Here you're going to work together anyway so having hang ups about agencies is just gonna stress you out.

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

No, but it's really important that we get along, I think.

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

Right. Has stressing about the agency clash not prevented you from getting along smoothly?

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

It has??

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

I sort of guessed it would. Because it's putting up a barrier, right?

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

Aren't barriers normal...?

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

Barriers are normal, but what's that one specifically keeping out?

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

...... It's for personal protection.

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

Would you like to hear my speculation based on my understanding of your situation or would that be too much in this moment.

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

... Say it.

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

I think you're worried that if you admit to yourself you want to get along with them and work together, then you're opening yourself up to the possibility that your feelings might get hurt if it doesn't happen. Is that fair to say?

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

...

[doesn't say anything]

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

And possibly, if this is the case, you've decided that failure or rejection will hurt less if you're in control of why it happens? I'm just guessing here. You can tell me to shut up.

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

... Sometimes it's easier not to try at all.

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

That's true. It's definitely easier.

1/2

[nymphcompoop]

But it feels bad to just... ignore them, when they're actually reaching out.

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

Even though Gray was totally wasted.

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

Do you want my cool cousinly advice?

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

Yeah.

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

Everything that's ever been worth doing has been hard or scary.

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

..........




That's really deep.

Re: 244

[socialcapital]

Being a cool cousin gives me access to exactly 1 instance of deep advice.

Re: 244

[nymphcompoop]

Does that mean everything that isn't hard or scary is worthless...?
