“How to win friends and influence people” is a great book. I can also recommend How to Talk to Anyone: “92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships” by Leil Lowndes
Reading books about how to behave in social settings was very effective in reducing my social anxiety
So that you understand the point.
If I would be on Windows, I would ask for a Windows solution

When I was in school the teacher’s were seizing the phone if they caught you with it in class and sometimes require your parents to pick it up after school
I never blamed Linux for it, I would have the same problem with Windows or MacOS.
But since I use Linux, I ask for a solution that works on Linux
Having multiple romantic relationships at the same time sounds very stressful to me
How can I look for what a specific user got banned (wihtout searching the entire history) ?

How likely is it to break the system with it?
