Oxytocin overdose

posted February 12th, 2021 at 12:47 AM

I had to help train a new coworker via zoom. It was our first time meeting, just the two of us in the zoom room. We spent about two hours covering the material, interspersed with some social chatter. I felt like we got along really well, and if we didn't work together I'd be trying to find out if they're single, or at least ask them out to a workday lunch. Felt like an instant crush! But I'm realizing now that it was probably just my brain tricking me with some kind of happy hormones. Turns out that was the longest conversation/interaction I've had with a new person since at least last March. I like my alone time, but this has been a lot of alone time. A lot. I haven't tried zoom dating because it seems kind of terrible, but maybe I'd like it?

Can't we just call it Skyping like we used to?

Not for everyone

I think the Zoom world favours only those people who are lucky enough to be photogenic. Some of us look much better in person. I look like I’m 50 pounds heavier on camera! I hate zoom and I have to use it constantly.

It is all...

... just hormones, it's not like sometimes you are "really attracted" to someone and 'sometimes it is just hormones. Attraction is a hormonal/neuropharmacological or whatever you want to call it response. Good thing statute law and "human rights" are more important than love! I sure am glad we put the HR department in charge of mating behavior last century.

I have proof I was being hacked into/spied on with mine. Sometimes the person you’re chatting with is a bummble bot. It asks you questions... and then goes dead. It’s your data... your intimate details these cowards want. Spineless.

It’s really interesting how many people have disclosed their personal health concerns and information on these super secure apps. Leaks? That doesn’t happen... in fact... it’s never happened. Or has it? But I need connection. I need my fix! Just know these tech people delete you like a drug dealer deletes their difficult clients. Delete... discount... dismissed.
