* M.R. I love your kind responses Keneth. Kenneth Udut - does
       anything phase you?

       Thank you Maxim :)* Internally, for a brief moment, yes they
       do. But then I laugh to myself at the absurdity of reacting
       to pixels on a screen as if they contain the magical power
       to change who I am.

       [as if my appearance and my "self" had any connection, other
       than social impressions, which they do if I choose, but I
       can also choose to turn the switch off so that they don't]

       I flip the the switch and chuckle at my own absurdity.

       Then, I figure out what role the other person was playing.

       In this case, H.S.M.H - was playing the role of my
       schoolteacher. Once I could see that, I imagined what the
       perfect response of a student would be that would resolve
       the conflict.

       There's always a place for diplomacy and civility in any
       conversation.

       So, as he was now my teacher, I was now his student, and I
       accepted his rebuke, which was, in fact, correct, and gave
       an explanation for my behavior in a manner that a teacher
       would be pleased with, while also remaining myself. I was
       myself as expressed through a role.

       He clicked "Like", which was the end of the movie.

       This movie had a happy ending.

       That's my secret. Treat all human conversation as if it is a
       movie, and I have a role to play.

       Discover what scene it is and perform my role to the best of
       my ability.

       However, I do not stick to the common script. Rather, I
       rewrite my own part during each encounter with other humans,
       and I customize the words my role uses in order to end up
       with a civil, diplomatic and happy ending, where all become
       best of friends.

       Now you know a little bit of my technique, and a LOT about
       how I approach human conversation.
