I’ve noticed this trend where people try to play it cool and act mysterious and unbothered. Mystery is definitely intriguing, but I think it could also be weaponized. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but I have a lot of thoughts and questions. Is "playing it cool" a defense mechanism? Do we do it to attract attention? Why do we glamorize poor communication skills? How has "playing it cool" created a toxic modern culture of dating? And is it better to share too much or share nothing at all...?
