@shaythethey: I am never in a rush to get to know anyone because bonds aren’t built through speed running connection. Many people will try to speed run connection so that they can feel comfortable disrespecting you. Few people actually are deserving of getting to know you many people will have have to be kept at an arms length in life. ##reserved##privacy##access##proximity##shaythethey
The old saying is still true today: familiarity breeds contempt

Never let anyone get too casual, it quickly turns into character discounts. 😒

PREACH! I had a contractor do a job for me. After the work was completed (I was on a deadline of that day) I realized I would NEVER hire him again. His semi-familiarity with me led to unprofessionalism. No thank you

Their endgame was to take things from you, their strategy proximity and "friendship", you shutting them off when they start to impose their extractive dynamics makes them think they are not gonna make it and they lose patience, then they try to extract all they can hastily before you go because they know they lost you at some point

This. So much safer to be admired from afar than experienced up close.
