When you're right, you're right. Easier said than done. Imagine getting introduced to that by a date that is giggly about having googled you. But you're right.
I have a theory that the reason my brain does this is because five or ten thousand years ago, you had small tribes of five to forty people, and if a few people in that tribe talked shit about you, you were excluded from hunting, gathering, and probably got killed. I don't think our brain evolved for having tribes or inner friend/neighbor circles of more than 40 people. I see 100 people piling on, hoping for my failure after going on a date with someone who reads it to me after smirking saying they googled me..????
The part of my brain that understands proportions goes out the window. That's not 0.00001% of the people that have engaged with what I say or do. That's 100 people.
But yeah, good advice. Easier said than done, though. Thank you.
There are the occasional people that try to go a little too far that have actually followed me(I don't mean on Twitter). For times like those, I'm happy that I'm located in Texas.
