#simpy because it... asserts itself so strongly?

one of my new coworkers so delicately straddles the line between "pretentious" and "deeply interesting/cool" and I'm very curious if he will STAY on that line and not fall off into one end or the other
#I think ''pretentious'' is unfair to him honestly because like...#he will freely pass judgement on things but he hasn't done it to people (in my presence)#and he also enjoys simple things at times too so it doesn't feel in any way performative#but parts of him DO feel curated#he was standing outside at our post-work gathering in his dark sunglasses and his well-fitting black coat and I was like: oh he ✨styled✨thi#and I think a curatorial spirit that is very strong in its identity and that has found its niche can initially come off as ''pretentious''#simpy because it... asserts itself so strongly?#but he's kind and works *very* hard (too hard) and he clearly has passions and this work is within his passions so...#it all makes sense. anyways he's technically a manager (not mine) so idk how deep I can make a friend out of him#but I'm curious if I can manage it. I'm (honestly) not convinced I'm cool enough lol#he goes to ART SALONS where a bunch of local art professionals and DOCTORS watch old films???#idk stuff that would make you go ''okay tryhard'' but he like. genuinely enjoys it idk that's his personality#he was coping with this very stressful week by trying to do a rubik's cube today lol poor guy
