I think working in communications has kind of fucked up the way I think about talking to friends which is a bit sad to realize bc I have been joking about Communications people don't use language normally for a long time and didn't really realize this was happening to me too
but like yeah a thing I do a lot is effectively conferring with a group chat about how to optimally word and deliver a message to another group chat and I can see this behavior leaking into how I think about talking to my friends now too
