My therapist literally had me remove my Zoom background in the beginning of our session because the shadow movement it was creating really bothered him. I never had anyone ask me to change my zoom view/background settings before

Perplexed

Is the background necessary? I literally never have one set. Have therapy this evening and never even considered a need to have a false background.

I find it super distracting when people have these kind of backgrounds set up. Im prone to vertigo and it makes me feel blarg looking at it

So what's the problem?

Weird. How about using blur next time, since that doesn’t cause as much of the halo effect thing?

Why not use blur? Seems to be the best in my opinion

Yeah, I’ll try that next time

You are already opening up then.....so why hide your bwckground

Not hiding, just love having interesting backgrounds on zoom calls

Maybe they wanted to assess how you’re mentally doing by seeing if your home environment is a mess or not.

It’s a mess🤪

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Why are people not good at ending zoom calls? I feel like I’m always the person who throws in the closing statement (I.e, ok well sounds good is that all? Have a nice day! This was helpful thanks Karyn..looks like we’re at top of the hour already) 🤦🏻‍♀️

Experience sharing on calories deficit -
I have a normal body build but want to lose a few pounds(especially around my belly). I am making visible progress now by eating less(work gets busy and I use that to forget about hunger), a lot of walking, have casein protein to feel less hungry. Diet is really what do the trick.
But there are drawbacks too - my energy level(especially around night time) drop significantly that the level of exercise I used to do feels hard (light/mid intensity)
