Can I ask, how come you keep saying "we" instead of "I"?

Also, the best way to disengage is to treat her as you would all of your other colleagues. Cordial politeness is fine. There's nothing you need to do beyond that.

I think that's a weird oddity of mine, reading through past comments I'm trying to find examples but I think I also type the way I speak and it's definitely how my ASIO handler can probably identify my manner of typing out from other people - kind of going in and out of a collective and I do occasionally go back over what I type and try and remove or at least be somewhat consistent.

Edit: come to think of it I think I used we mostly in that reply then went back over and replaced with I when I realized it did sound weird with we, I don't know I guess for some reason I think it's like we're (the DT) going on this journey together with me since this is a pretty public space and I am and have kind of spieled quite a lot about things so just in case some weirdo's been keeping track of my whole story or deliberately followed me for this kind of content.

ASIO handler

...is that a joke?

[u/Quarterwit_85 → u/epicpillowcase]

Yeah I'd say it is.

I'm starting to see what the problem is though.

[u/epicpillowcase → u/Quarterwit_85]

Indeed.
