most interactions with acquaintances and friends are them asking, "Oh, how was that Thing You Told Me About?"
so you're constructing an identity by what you reveal about yourself to people. You could be an aspiring tech entrepreneur, a suicidal divorcee with a DUI hearing this week, a hobo investigating a national conspiracy |
