"Whenever you are interacting with another person stop thinking about yourself too much. You should be absorbing everything you can about the other person. Their goals, their hopes, their dreams, their fears. Obviously you do it step by step and don’t escalate to these directly."
With the absolute phrasing of "Whenever you are interacting with another person" I strongly have to disagree.
It is very important to learn how to protect yourself from other peoples "goals, hopes, dreams, fears" unless you really want to connect to that person.
True human connection comes, when both sides are interested in a connection and not if one or both sides are faking interest.
- bluepizza 5y agoTrue human connection is an special event. Most of your life, you need to be able to go about your day, while everybody else is also going about their days. Most people are not interested in a two sided connection with you specifically - they have other people that they are already spending energy and effort in connecting. Superficial connections are the bread and butter of socialization.
