Subtechnique 2: Ironic Detachment

Warning: this subtechnique requires a deep understanding of the futility of human connection.

To master Subtechnique 2, one must be willing to surrender to the crushing despair of existence, while still appearing to be engaged.

The key is to feign interest in the lives of others, all while secretly wondering if they're just as hollow as you are.

Example use cases:

• At a party: nodding along to someone's conversation while wondering if you're just going through the motions.
• At work: pretending to care about a coworker's weekend while thinking about your Netflix queue.
• At home: smiling at a family member while counting down the minutes until you can go back to playing video games.

Subtechnique 2 is not for the faint of heart. It takes a toll on one's sanity, but it's worth it for the comedic potential.
