C[roentgenium: Thanks! Just imagine me in a computer room by myself, trying to psych myself up
Niall: I really relate. I need to build myself up to a mindset where i convince my nervous brain that I am unbothered by whatever happens and simply bemused
Niall: I called it my "idgaf mode" when i was a teacher thrown into situtations where i was expected to perform with no prep

C[roentgenium: Other than that, I started playing tennis once a week with a friend this year, which has been very fun
Niall: it may seem like dissassociation but I think of it more like an enforced confidence "I am a sufficiently capable person, and any misteps i make here are understandable given the situation"
Niall: Nice! Tennis looks like fun 
Niall: i was too bad at it at school though could barelly hit the ball
roentgenium: I can't either, but apparently you still get benefit for trying :P
Niall: XD
roentgenium: I reckon when you know you can suffer a major setback and still continue trying to make something of your life, that's a good spot to be in
