 ... I do that, but I do it because I want to find common subjects to talk
 about. Or I think "if I was working on a project, who can I ask if I need
 help?"

 I don't really need to know if people like me. It's nice, but it doesn't help
 me.
 
 I do, however, desperately want to know if I'm helping. Knowing this would
 help me.

 every time I've tried to get a job for someone in the tech industry they
 turned out to be a fed, so...
 
 I do know people that you'd like to talk to, though. Just a few. That's all I
 personally can do.

 likely to be able to bring up something I've been thinking about.

 they should be allocated more resources so they can accomplish their

 just because someone did something one way and it worked, doesn't mean you
 have to do it that way again.
 
 but you should have a reason why you aren't doing it that way.

 I exist now at the height of my gluttony.
 
 I need more to be demanded of me.
 
 I am not afraid to ask for help.
 
 I solve other people's problems before my own.
 
 I have very little insight into my habits and patterns.
 
 My memory isn't great, but I recall details that matter.
