Meh, don't hate yourself over it, that isn't useful.

Also, it's appropriate to be annoyed at Jaeger for not reading the room and sending attractive girls to a gay bar.

First you gotta let go of harshly judging yourself for this.

Just look at it as another opportunity to reinforce the script you'd like to have in your head instead of the one you followed.

This is a Cognitive Behavioral Technique - we operate on default scripts for stuff, changing the script gives us new ways to respond. For an easy intro to CBT, check out the book "Your Erroneous Zones" by Wayne Dyer (yea, he intended the title as a play on Erogenous Zones).

(I say all this as a misanthropic bastard)

It was a drag night it’s possible that was intentional rather than Tonedeaf.

But you never see literate twinks slinging product around either so it always feels weirdly desperate.

I think that's the kind of thing that hits me with "reads innaccurate to the situation" vibes, and usually allows me to see the artifice in the actions presented less emotionally.

I actually try to intentionally trigger this when signing up for things online; there's no reason a commercial company needs my actual real name. So if my name is Michael, I might sign up as Mikey or just M, to remind myself of the artifice being presented ongoingly when they email me for a new promo. Just enough to remind myself that fundamentally its always a sales pitch.
