One dimensionalized in the DMs

 A phenomena I notice with the friends you chat with online is you kinda get pigeonholed. Like your work friend will send you work-related reels and nothing else. And the person you talked about dancing with will just send you dance stuff, but nothing else.

It's alright, no harm done really, because people making the effort to think about you is a net-positive even if it's low effort [I can't find the paper but I remember seeing it]. 

I think my novel contribution here is to be aware if I'm starting to do that to someone and then....just send the dankest stuff from left field. So we can form a holistic friendship on the basis of them knowing who I actually am <3
