  • This is less advice for at work and more just life advice in general: dress better.

    I hate it because my go-to comfort clothing signals to people that I don’t want to be interacted with. But if I dress up just a teeny tiny bit, even in a very casual, low-effort way, suddenly people smile at me, make jokes to me spontaneously, give me random compliments and have more patience with me when I’m talking.

    Clothes change the difficulty level of people/socialization. It makes sense but it’s also so opposed to how I’m wired. I still struggle with it.

    I cannot imagine bragging about it later on social media. I’d be mortified.

    Shame and embarrassment work in strange ways and everyone is different. She’s clearly very goal-directed and a very capable athlete. I can’t imagine all the extremes of emotion she had to feel with the backlash that followed.

    Excuse me for saying this, but what a shitty thing to happen all around.
