I attended an event for work last night (journalism and podcast) and got super hyper really fast (I only had 1 beer so I don’t blame it on that) because I was overwhelmed by everything that was going on (people recording podcasts, chatting with people who I admire for their work/art, meeting new people, seeing one of my old coworkers who I really like). I felt bad and ashamed when I got home because I thought I made a fool of myself. At one point, my boss introduced me to some of his friends and when I was left alone with them, one of them told me where she worked as a journalist and asked me if I was a consumer of their content (because it’s targeted at young people and I’m young). And I went on and on about why I didn’t and I believe she was upset. I didn’t realize I was being insensitive obviously. I don’t know if some of you know how to deal with moments where you realize you’re being “too much”. I really feel like a dumb child rn for not being able to control myself.
