- Stratoscope 5y agoThat is a great little article. I like the way it addresses how someone may feel that "I'm not feigning surprise, I really am surprised!" As the article says, regardless of how you feel internally, choose the external action that is likely to give a happy interaction rather than an unhappy one.
