Ever know that one friend that doesn't seem to have a filter? I'm kind of like that. It's nothing that i'm proud of. I actually think it's problematic.
I used to not say a thing or try to be agreeable around others, but I realized that at best you just tread water that way and not build much rapport with people. I was dumb enough to think that moving to the other side of the pendulum was the solution.
I've tried to water it down during interactions, but it just seems like i'm walking on eggshells in a metaphorical sense and I overthink it and say something that doesn't make sense. It's turned into a damned if you do/don't scenario.
Sooner or later i'm gonna have to learn how to strike the right balance to build rapport with people and more networks. Can't just be awesome at something and have everything fall in our lap (shit). So why not open the floor to open advices and criticism in that regard. Gotta start somewhere.
