Congratulations!

That makes me wonder why your doctor did not inform you properly.

This simply means that your local culture is flawed. Where I am, everyone looks and smells beautiful.

Are you painting the whole picture here?

First thing that comes to my mind is: You have met the person, thus connected, then worked together remotely.

That is a physical presence. How much physical presence is required for a good working relationship differs from individual to ~; having personally experienced a coworker is invaluable in my opinion.

The second paragraph does not resonate with me, I am from across the pond. To each their own!

Oof. That is a big ask because I am not an expert on the topic; just learned and wise. If you are willing to burn quite a bit of energy, I could use a LLM to explain the topic.

Off the top of my head, in my currently tired, flu-ish state: Research has shown that our bodies integrate information (DNA) from viruses/bacteria. In a very basic sense, viruses are able to change our DNA. Surviving an infection is a form of upgrade/mutation. You are still you, with the information held in the virus now part of yourself.

Evolution.

Okay. Let us go!

See? You ask. Yes. I do. What “see” do you refer to, though?

I can write you a story already, will not because you are not being specific.

Explain the problem and I will respond to the best of my ability.

You are okay. It is a good thing to look out for yourself. What you experience is not neurological, it is psychological.

The world is quite crazy right now. If you are not fully OK, this just means that you are a true human.

Live in the here and now, every day, again and again.

Ah, pardon your offense – 'twas a joke, signified through the use of “^^”.

Bottom line: I think it is ridiculously hilarious that such a small non-offense is being fined over there, by … ‘you people’. :p

Can we not all agree to say this entire debacle is … stupid? xD

Lighthearted; no offense meant nor intended. Enjoy your day!

Do not trust companies to parent your children. Do it yourself…

Learn a trade? Do you like working with wood, metal, electronics? Gardening? Construction?

The best advice I can add to what has been given already is to just try out a few things and feel if something resonates. You can ask companies to go along for a day to see how the work is done to learn, help them for a day without pay to learn, for instance.

Does take some initiative and social skills, can lead to a nice career.

Inappropriate reference.

Yes. Consult Dr. before trying things like this; combinations can get out of hand fast.

Perhaps just do not argue on the internet?

The upside is, this goes for every emotion! Once resolved and happy (or content), this too can be felt everywhere. :)

All about balance. Working from home is such an improvement from past times. Face to face contact with your peers should not be underestimated though - very valuable.

Others have already mentioned the tools.

This is a losing battle. The systems will continue to improve, obfuscation will always lag behind. My advice would be to learn to embrace it. Zen meditation can help.

Imaginably, this response may be very annoying; seeing the current trajectory of development, it is hard to imagine you can. Not sharing is the only defeat, which also defeats the purpose of art. Quite a conundrum.

We have come some way, have (too) much still to go.

Excellent strategy.

Gezellig!
