    When you use the phrase "keep it together" for yourself or another person, what sort of unmanaged emotional regulation breakdown are you generally anticipating and trying to head off? (as in... giving in to fear, loss of composure, choking towards the end of a competition etc)

        Typical “loss of composure” for myself, especially when faced with racism Had a few times cops would question if I was “lost” and understood calling them out would be a lost cause Multiple times have had VC’s assume I was the CTO and my white founder was the CEO

        Yeah, I was going to say mentally unwinding (probably looks a lot like a “loss of composure” externally though)

        Super hard to describe now that I'm currently not in that state, but it's like we're on a collision course with a black hole, and you're the only one who's seeing it, and nobody else has any fucking idea that we're all going to die soon, and you're this close from telling them.

        Just finished reading Jed McKenna this week. This was the most challenging thing I've ever read, and I wasn't sure if I was gonna come out of it alive. I'm glad that I did it, but this shit ain't for the faint hearted.
