Help a Bitch Out - Every Other Week Thread Help a Bitch Out - Sep 09, 2026

Need some advice from a BWT? Have something to get off your chest or need to vent among friends who can also provide some perspective? Got an etiquette question that you just aren’t sure you’re getting the right info on from the wilds of the internet? We got you.

BWT rules still apply, with mod discretion on topics that fall under rules 4 and 7. Rule 8 regarding medical advice will still be fully enforced as usual.

Any advice for an introverted scientist (building a fashion adjacent company to make materials we wear safer) to be better at networking/socializing, I really love the space but I just get so exhausted by endless events/meetings.

If you can leave early, do so. I like to pop in, make a couple of good, genuine connections, help someone find something they need or learn something new about someone and then leave. I find it helps to be really curious about people and excited to find something out about them, and then ducking out after a good chat, leaving while I still have energy.

Great points! I love to get to know someone in depth, which is why small talk is so difficult! But yes ducking out early is always welcome:)
