    Nothing wrong with offsetting self hate by having people talk about shit that makes them happy.

      There is when they speak positively about stuff that is forced on everyone else.

        I’m quite confused. I ask people about their kids because their happiness cheers me up.

          The thing being forced on everyone else in this context is a requirement to work in an office instead of work from home. In that context, someone saying high quality human contact is important, implying that is a benefit of being forced into the office and forcing everyone else into the office makes them happy.

            Oh, I was just commenting on being one of the people that benefits from seeing others - a vampire. I don’t think it’s a justifiable reason to force people to go to the office.

              Benefitting from being social with others doesn’t make you a social vampire. Almost everyone benefits from socializing, to the point that it is assumed to be a shared human trait.

              A social vampire is someone who preys on others socially, frequently by forcing others into social situations they don’t want to be in. Forcing someone to work in the office so there is someone to be social with is a sign of someone being a social vampire.
