Episode notes

I use amojis because i want people to know that, like, i'm competent. But 'm not ta competent. Competence is about reliance. Warmth is about i want you to like what i say. So if you're with someone who's warm, diling up your exclamation point, styling up your mojes. Next level is mirroring the kind of a moje they do - smily face or an equal sign o parentheses. It can come off as disingenuous if we are strictly mirroring the other e corshir so we have to be careful with that. Is what what we're trying to do, is pretyng to be polite
