I understand, but don’t sweat it. Interviews are tough.

It was so so bad. It was so bad it made me realize things about myself. I think it's possible that I feel embarrassment more intensely or acutely than other people.
When I'm sad, I'm never as horrifically, terrifyingly sad as I've seen others be. My joyful moments have never reached the bliss I've seen in others. But nobody feels as embarrassed as is do. I was so miserable yesterday and memories of this are going to haunt me for the rest of my life.
It was like a visceral, physical pain that had me almost in tears for hours.
And this intense emotionality around embarrassment is the source of most of my life failures.
God damn

Take it easy on yourself, Argo. Hardly worth beating yourself up over.

I'm so bad at judging job interviews. There have been interviews where I thought I did horrible, but got the offer, and interviews that I thought I did great, but they told me to fuck off. You never know.

Reading back over those posts, I was definitely overreacting. But I was going through it. RM sometimes gets the in-the-moment, unvarnished argo

It's probably best for me to try to forget. Honestly, I don't even know. I just know I felt stupid and bad

You would have to trade your deep red euphoria for our dark blue hellscape though.

I hate to make light of it, but now I’m just envisioning him during the interview rocking back and forth repeating “Argo fuck yourself”

Had a job interview today. Didn't apply for it and don't really even want it. What the fuck am I even doing? I'm just doing things.
