An important nuance

The question's sharper than it seems, especially in our mixed-up world-studying, working, shared projects. I always think of that principle "do not approach adultery": it's not just about the physical stuff, but that fine line where emotional closeness starts to outweigh professional interaction.

The line is where you start sugarcoating reality just to see her smile. That's already a door to being fake. When I catch myself thinking I wanna seem better than I actually am, I know it's time to step back.

I think the key thing here is privacy. If you're in a shared hallway discussing a report, that's one thing. But being just the two of you alone in an empty office - that's something else entirely. I try to avoid those moments, just so I don't put myself to the test more than I need to.

Such a true post. Back in my madrasa days, the sheikh often used to say that Satan runs through the veins of the son of Adam. For me, the line is when jokes start getting personal and there's this urge to share something intimate. Right then, I just cut the conversation short.

The hardest thing about uni is when you’re stuck in group projects for half a year together. My rule: avoid eye contact for more than a couple of seconds and never discuss anything outside of studying. None of that “how are you, how’s your mood” stuff.

This is seriously thin ice. I've noticed it in myself: you start talking about work stress with a colleague, and then you catch yourself waiting for her messages just because. Now I try to keep some distance in communication, especially in messengers when it's not work-related.
