Carrying on a conversation can be a straight up chore. It might just be a phase where we let go of what we should do and embrace what we want to instead. At least that's what's going on for me. I find myself being less apologetic about not being interested in people and surrounding myself with people I just naturally work with. This is probably more relevant to those with nice guy programming where you had the idea drilled into your head that it's important that people perceive you as a "good" person more than just being yourself.
Good point. Perhaps just an optimization here, or a tweak there, then. "Nice guy" programming has hurt me in life, too. It's more like "being completely fake" and "lie about your feelings" programming.
Oh look! I can speak again. Isn't that nice.
