I’m reading Superconnectors right now, and am at the part where he talks about matching, reading people’s emotional cues and reflecting them back. Seems like trying to do this instead of worrying about what someone is thinking of you might be a challenging and interesting distraction from the spotlight. I’m going to try it!

Ah, I love how you connected this to the matching idea! This is 100% a better thing to focus on when we get caught up in ruminating about what someone is thinking of us (totally going to apply that wisdom, myself--thank you!).

I love the main message here, but what I really connect with is feeling like a dud in the gift-giving department. I hear you!

I'm delighted to have good company in the lame-gift-giver club!
