How would you interpret this if someone said it to you?

[Helloeriss01]

I told someone I wanted to be a reporter and he said he could see me wearing the same outfit as the Morton salt girl outfit then asked me to do the reporter voice.
Then he said he could see me doing podcasting and they make a lot of money.

How would you interpret that if you told someone you wanted to be a reporter and they said you’d be good at podcasting. Are they trying to say I have a more laid back personality or something?

It's difficult to say for certain what the person meant when they made those comments, but it's possible that they were trying to suggest that you have a natural talent for communication and that you could excel in a variety of media-related roles.

When the person mentioned the Morton salt girl outfit and asked you to do the reporter voice, it could be seen as a playful way of engaging with you and encouraging you to think about different aspects of journalism and media. Similarly, when they mentioned podcasting and the potential for making money, it could be interpreted as a supportive comment that acknowledges your skills and potential in a related field.

It's also possible that the person was simply making conversation or trying to be friendly, without any specific intent or deeper meaning behind their comments.

It's up to you to interpret the person's words and actions based on your own understanding of the situation and your relationship with them. If you're unsure of their intentions or if their comments made you feel uncomfortable, it may be helpful to clarify their meaning by asking follow-up questions or seeking feedback from others.

He recommended podcasting instead reporting because he thinks you're a moron who's not cut out for a real career

I would take it as a compliment lol. Whether he meant it or not as least you can imagine yourself in some salt lady costume you speak of

[Helloeriss01]

What about the podcast thing? You think it’s a compliment?

[leahzrc]

Yeah he was just throwing ideas to gas you up because he thought you were pretty. wants you to feel good about yourself because he thinks you deserve it <3

[Helloeriss01]

Oh ok!

"he gave it thought but podcast came up instead of reporter"

[Helloeriss01]

I don’t get what you’re trying to say? Was it an insult?

[Yucy_Gluttony]

No, how is a different activity an insult?

[Yucy_Gluttony]

Don't look down on podcasters

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Podcasters are trash. They just like to hear themselves talk. You should look down on them

[Yucy_Gluttony]

@WanderingLoveWizard Or they just like to talk like other people socializing and the people listening in like to hear them talk.

Not really sure, but it could’ve been sexual innuendo.
