If I'm entering a pub that is owned by the Turkish mafia here quite same happens. :twisted: The only pubs where they don't even know the name of the beer that they are selling. :mrgreen: But may be that you have to care your personal hygiene only or the rooms that you enter and the way that you do. :wink:

Well you are brave entering an establishment owned by the Turkish mafia.

The pubs in Australia are mainly frequented by older men punting bets on the horse races or greyhounds so nobody registers when you enter as they are too busy checking their bets or watching football.

I bet the Turkish mafia men put bets on cockfights.

Turkish house mafia sounds like a DJ name

I don't really enter pubs as much as my house is one, we are fairly serious beer nerds; I've cut back a good bit during my job hunt though.

Aside from the price tag of the laptop I'm typing this on I'm pretty frugal.

I guess in other words I prefer just spending some time in nature to going to most bars. I'll make exceptions to that rule for some nice places but since the quarantine began I've totally written off going out. If I walk into a bar it will hopefully be rebar if things go my way; I'm wrapping up an internship in survey, architecture & construction technology.

I think new construction with responsible techniques is really important these days, as much as it's really positive to work on being a part of that, it's still a business that monopolizes my focus & takes the social energy I'd prefer to reserve for people I consider family. I mean it's for them & by extension everyone though, people need places to live & industry needs to be more accountable to nature. Wait a minute, those are the same problem... 8O

Damn I am way too shy...

Ultimately, most of us are well aware this can be transcended, or so I would really hope. I think trust has to be built between people at once, unilaterally, but there's more than one way. Hopefully.

Trust is a more personal than mutual thing at first, but once it's mutual it is so good. Some people have the ability to lay out their half of the bridge easier than other folks. I wish it was easy for me, but it's not. I'm working on it though. I'm too tired to make more sense right now so I am saving this comment now.

Maybe I'm thinking more about the proverbial common ground more than anything on the exalted level of 'networking"...

I mean if I wasn't just renting one of four rooms, I'd set up my entire house to try & convey this, but I guess it's kind of fortunate there are other people around to do something to that effect, as a result I've been able to focus quite a lot on melting my eyes in front of double displays for a living.

It's not just some aesthetic or body language statement to be more direct & properly affectionate...v (is that wishful thinking?) Blergh, what do I know though? I like design, but nothing ostentatious. There's a reason I'm a hacker & not an architect.

Nevertheless I need to work on these things, not only to get a job but also to meet people in the middle when & where I can. I'd like to be more affable & make people comfortable. I need to be better about saving my energy for genuine human interaction, even if it is just on another dumb screen.

Well here's looking forward to my Monday perhaps not being terrible. I always have a lot to learn & that's kind of all I think about sometimes.

Could be worse - I could have been more useless than I thought I was Friday.

I'm still sitting in my empty house waiting for a meeting as usual though. I'm not sure how to fill this kind of time without echoing my thoughts on the nets.

It's like I only occupy these holes in the schedule. I haven't been on any agenda in over two years. I'm way too good at being alone.

That sounds not really good my princess. :? You have to learn to read the intentions of people a lot better. That's hard for many of us but not at all impossible. Wished I could help you with this a little bit. :roll:
Here I wrote a bit about that: viewtopic.php?t=388749

It's true, I have a difficult time with that. I just assume people aren't worth my time when that's not a fair attitude to have. I shouldn't be dismissive, I need social interaction like anyone else. I'm human, after all (disappointingly! :mrgreen: ).

Hope that. May be the life would be a little bit easier without it but hey that's normal and you are totally OK.
I'm currently to much on my own as well. People are boring idiots but being always on your own causes loneliness. It's not as easy to find a way out of this.

This is a realization I wish I could help women towards. I have to work on it myself but as a guy frequently written off by this kind of thinking, I know it comes from both sides.

I had no idea you like being in nature. If you are willing, I'd like to hear about what you do, or where you go.
