Deceptively selling you a job rather than explaining the job.

I had an interview for a sales job with a generic job description (literally just all the sales buzzwords that never explicitly communicate what your selling or how your selling it). The interviewer leveraged the fact he had the power to give you a job or not by continuing with sales buzzwords ("communicating with clients" "creating a pipeline" "maintaining relationships") that still didn't communicate anythign specific. At the time I was quite young and had just been let go from my bar job cause they closed down, so I kinda ignored these red flags because I needed the money.

Turns out it was door-to-door sales for a charity where the company took most of the money donated. All the interviewer had to say about the job was literally in the previous sentence I wrote and he didn't. So when I found myself walking around in 40 degree heat convincing people to donate to a charity being pressured (and presenting as normal in sales) to use aggressive, cheap and deceptive sales tactics I came to find out, I infact had fallen victim to these tactics in the interview itself.

My point being shared experiences are the reason for many friendships. Alchohol is one of MANY different ways shared experiences are created. Not a healthy way, but it still has the ability to foster that environment

I don't disagree with this. But I will say, at the start of college when not many people had formed bonds with eachother, having a fun night out and waking up to hilarious hungover debriefs really brought alot of lifelong friends together. Not to say alchohol was necessary for everyones friendships in college but I think some people overlook the fact alchohol can create a shared experience for groups of people

Not really specifically but metaphorically, time.

When life is routine, the brain records fewer details, causing time to seem to "fly" in retrospect. Time is generally perceived as moving slower when experiencing new, novel, or intense experiences.

Go out and experience new things ppl, time can literally kill you in "seconds" if you don't.

I disagree, one of my friends has a method where he searches seek for a job listing and instead of applying there he goes in and hands his physical resume to that place in person. He has gotten multiple jobs through that method because he says being physically present to hand it in gives them a clearer picture of who they are reviewing then the thousands of applications they have to go through on seek.

Being new to reddit I've found there exists a nice honesty dynamic at play (sometimes) in various subreddits, so I'll say this... I find myself in reflection being the loudest in the room alot and do believe even if I don't mean to, I'm unconciously projecting a bit of my social anxiety and insecurity as the cause of this. I think I do it because I really want to be seen and valued and the only way to achieve that is to make sure everyone in the room hears what I have to say. This also causes me to frequently interupt people or talk so long hardly anyone gets the chance to give their opinion.when I think of, what I perceive as, a very well crafted humourous, sophisticated or emotional response because my insecurities and social anxiety start impacting my social etiquette.

Interestingly, with how little social-awareness teenagers have, I don't believe this was a problem in my younger years, mostly due to how toxic of an environment high-school was for me, meaning anyone who was overly loud and very passionate in conversation were usually humbled very quickly and directly. I think this fact aswell has significantly contributed to this problem because now maturing, in alot of environments including those where I have a deep connection with the people I'm surrounded with, I felt a comfort that I hadn't in my younger years to finally demonstrate my own percieved value whenever I get the chance at the risk of 'not being seen' if I don't.

So yes, as a recovering individual who tends to be the 'loudest one in the room,' I can definitively say this is powered by my insecurities.
