Don’t do this.

I had such a weird encounter at work today. A colleague who knows I am into crypto, started asking me about coins (which she is invested in as well)

Generic, vanilla questions that almost anyone could answer. I still tried to answer as nuanced as possible.

With every answer I gave, it became painfully obvious, that she didn't listen at all. She just waited to tell her even lesser informed takes on the subject she had just asked me about.

I could see the confusion in her eyes, when I switched to one word answers. I'll probably not engage with her again.

How do you handle faked interest?

“If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.”
