"being a creep" seems roughly the same as "playing by the wrong set of rules" slash "breaking the set of rules I'm communicating tacitly that I want you to follow" "be Professional and act like you're talking to your manager" is *safe* but basically social bondage

I've been thinking about this a lot, trying to make a big formless thing legible no success yet but my hunch is that the only way to actually come off as not creepy if this is a problem is to throw yourself into lots of novel situations and often fuck them up until you git gud

Yes, you must pass through creepiness and come out the other side. But no one wants to see you go through the process, so the first social rule you must break is the one that forbids practicing and failing in social situations
