Alas, the gatekeepers. They do gatekeep. Because I guess it's their survival strategy.

Trying to have some nice interactions and good communication instead of some other ones that feel like gaslighting when stubborn people don't want to listen. Oh, and changing the story around multiple times does not inspire confidence, but nice interactions and good communication would be better. It's possible, right? I mean, I believed nice interactions and good communication were had before. Maybe they can happen again!
