| Without theory, you can’t have practice. So I’m not downgrading the theory, abstract aspect. I feel like adding anecdotal illustrations, in addition to presenting the theory, would prove useful for your readers. I’m speaking of real-life social situations. I believe everyone “masks,” to a certain e... |

| The Line Game refers to a general form of games that can be explained in the language of theory which are being used to explain social boundaries. Like most theories explained using Game Theory, this is a rather cynical explanation as it assumes everyone is acting only in their own self-interest. I ... |

Well yes, but they also aren't counting people who just didn't sign up for the services because they didn't want them. |

| I'm not sure how much of this would apply to you, but part of anxiety for me was looking for the "right" or "perfect" response, which really doesn't exist. Having to perform socially and having something to prove. So it creates an impasse that inevitably results in withdrawing b... |
