the funny thing is, I don't have a problem socialising or anything but when it is like forced socialising or anything like networking, that's what i hate - going to industry conferences and things like that.

i deleted linking years ago too because i just couldn't stand looking at all the professional virtue signaling.

and of course, the cherry on the cake, i like in a remote Bulgarian village lol, career suicide lol

What's a valuable lesson your job or profession has taught you?

I’m surprised to hear that! Given how you typically type thoughtful long responses here. I would have thought that you enjoy human company haha. Or are you just not a face to face person? 

This year, I have been forcing students to sit down beside me and read words/short paragraphs. Being low-progress learners, some of them took forever to read something that I think could be accomplished by their peers in a heartbeat. But it isn’t that they can’t do it; it’s just that they need lots of time. This made me feel sad for them because they didn’t have an adult figure to sit down beside them and coach them in their studies when they were young
