“Right now I’m taking a lot of courses that have really big lecture halls, and even though I meet a new person every time, even if I add them on social media and ask them the next day if we can sit together, they either don’t respond of they say they’re sitting with someone else, or they’re already sitting inside… So it kind of goes on in a cycle\u2014I just meet a new person every time and I never meet them again.”
\n“Have you heard of the self-fulfilling prophecy?”
\n“Uhm, isn’t that when if you believe in something then it will happen? I, yes, I believe in the self-fulfilling prophecy; I know that I am also fulfilling that point. But I also have a few lectures where there are a fewer amount of people so I do get to meet people and know them better.”
\n“Do you identify as an introvert?”
