Reality TV chess program in the UK. Will it help to popularise the game?
First, I can't stand Reality TV.
Second, I don't play and study chess because I want to be popular. I like disappearing into my own little world.

'Good News For Chess' As BBC's 'Chess Masters' Sparks Mixed Reactions Following Premiere
The BBC’s latest reality TV competition, Chess Masters: The Endgame, made its highly anticipated debut on March 10, marking a rare return of chess to prime-time television.Tarjei J. Svensen (Chess.com)
This morning I'm thinking about the differences and overlap between being shy, sensitive, introvert, and autistic. I was a very sensitive kid and thought I'm shy. When I grew up and learned about introversion vs extroversion, it was easy to latch onto introversion. I'm shy, that equals introvert, right?
Except that these days I'm not so sure. I don't think I'm shy. I'm sensitive, that's for sure. I don't know how a NT mind works and it's hard to get to know people. Except it isn't too hard if the circumstances (and people) are right. What is hard is talking with people as my mind simply doesn't tell me what to say.
Because of this, now I'm not even sure I'm an introvert. Reading my high school diary reminds me that I wasn't acting introverted there. I knew those people. Then again, I had a role. I remember crying at one point in the uni to some other people that I've been wearing a mask at least since high school. Woo boy, how right I was! Didn't know anything about masking at that time. I wasn't talking exactly about autistic masking but in hindsight, I was super close to a breakthrough that day.
