Sometimes getting random DMs in your online community doesn’t always work out like you want it to.
Picture this, you're Aubrey, a cybersecurity pro thriving in a fast-paced tech scene. Everything’s going smoothly until you try to do a nice thing - offering some extra tickets to a local disco costume party. Sounds harmless, right…right!?
Enter Ted: a seemingly well-meaning but totally clueless guy who doesn’t quite get the boundaries. What starts as a small gesture develops into a series of awkward DMs, boundary-pushing, and what we’d call very awkward exchanges, oof!
