Part of being not cavalier is also thinking ahead -- you have XYZ job now, but what job do you want next? When interviewers ask people, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" it's not a bullshit throwaway question. Do you see yourself managing people who do the same job as you in five years? Do you see yourself doing the same job but for a larger company? Do you see yourself going back to school or getting additional training? Do you see yourself working in a different industry? There are lots of ways that career paths shift and move as industries change and economies go up and down, and most people just do not give that a second thought.

Maybe you might still get swamped by a big wave, but you'll recover from it better if you know your boat. People who plan weather storms better, even where their plans have to change because you grow to know yourself and your situation better in the process of planning.

Anyhow, sorry for the tl;dr comment, dude.

What does your general gut feeling tell you? He could be alone and starved for attention so that's just a statement but he could also be narcissistic and say that because you provide attention he likes, but that he not necessarily likes you. Or anything in between. That's where I'd say listen to your gut, if you feel he's a good guy, maybe he just appreciates the fact that you pay attention to him and that doesn't happen so often to him or in ways that are not suitable for his understanding of attention. If you feel he's a bad guy and you can see that the way he treats other people is shitty it's maybe leaning towards him being an asshole

So many. Gold Dust Woman, The Chain, Go Your Own Way… Listening to Fleetwood Mac right now and remembering Christine in the middle of all the Stevie/Lindsay drama and how she just seemed like the backbone of stability and quiet talent.
