Lectures, for the most part, are impersonal.

its simple. all you have to do is be yourself bro,

>>35824852
Because you're playing a role.

Im a bartender. I HATE strangers, hate public interaction with people and have a VERY small circle of friends (lots of aquintances but its always co-workers, people who I never want to hang out with)

When you're on stage giving a lecture (or me, as a bartender) you're not YOU. You're anon the lecturer. When you're 1 on 1 its anon vs another human being and shit is personal, hence: you sperg.

I'm glad I'm at a csu where the max number of students in my senior level biology labs is 24 because that's how many seats are in a lab room.

It's not like I go to office hours for help but all my professors look me in the eye when they hand back exams I go an A on and remeber my face.
