You know how white dudes confronted with, and in denial of, challenges of social awareness pout with "They think it's better if I don't talk at ALL!"

Funny thing.

While I work on social awareness, I DO have moments where I notice what I just said and think "Wow, I totally should not have talked at all".

These are then followed by periods of some degree of social mortification, of greater or lesser severity.

During these periods, I occasionally wonder "Is this what teenage girls feel like when they say 'Maybe I should just never speak'? And if so... Am I just now getting the social training women got when they were, like, thirteen? Is that how this works?"
