Completely relatable about going into interviews stone cold after having an emotional meltdown. I often wonder if this forced emotional distance is favorable to interviewers, and perhaps, the successful interviews i have in this mindset appear to be luck/chance because of the distance itself.

The more emotionally detached i am from an opportunity, the less i am thinking about all the work ive done and the associated emotional/mental stress that surmounted to each moment. As a result i probably appear less desperate, less anxious, more confident, and more easygoing.

I also consider the fact that displaying less emotion is more relatable to men. It's a tough spot to be in, but very interesting to reflect on nonetheless.
