If you want to learn how to play the piano, you should stay focused on practical issues.

I tend to attract people who identify as having trauma in their past. They often get pissed off when they realize that I’m a jerk, not the kind and loving caretaker that they thought I was.

I also tend to attract people who think I’m an intellectual and who want to discuss philosophy with me. They get pissed off when I start making appeals to emotion and seemingly throw logic out the window.

Another group that seems to find its way to me are those who think I’m a nice guy who’s offering some quick tips on how to play the piano. They take off once they realize that they don’t understand a word I’m saying.
