There’s a strange sort of unpleasant space that we exist in frequently.
It’s a space of discomfort, but it’s somewhere between “I fear for my safety” and “I’m just going to cringe myself into a ball.”
It’s a space that we’re trying to get to the bottom of in this Reddit thread:
What horrors await us in this uncomfortable netherworld?
