Whenever I see someone post on Facebook or LinkedIn the meme that "People don't remember what you do for them, they remember how you make them FEEL", I'm always like: hell no, doesn't happen with me. Really get annoyed by that meme.
- Consultant32452 7y agoI think this meme is very true for neurotypical people. Over the years I've practiced some skills around things like voice inflection and body language. Most people do these things naturally, but for me it's 100% a conscious effort. I naturally have an extremely flat affect. Very monotone, no facial expressions, etc. When I remember to "turn those skills on" my life is SO much easier, even though I'm saying the same things and performing the same tasks. How I do them matters more than what I do.
- jacques_chester 7y agoIt seems like you remember that meme because of how it made you feel.
- PakG1 7y agoHahahaha, I see your point. But I'd say that I remember that meme because people keep posting it and I disagree with it. There are a lot of other things I remember just as well, even though I've seen those things only once, and those things don't necessarily evoke any emotional response.
- jacques_chester 7y agoI appreciate your good humour. I mostly saw an opportunity to needle. Self-reflection is often lacking in the profession. Many folks feel threatened by it. I used to be very emotionally invested in how unemotional and rational I was. Now I accept that emotions are just part of the business of existing and thinking.
