How does one learn to think about the emotional “room temperature” before they speak?
My mind doesn’t work that way so I’m curious. Does one pause before every sentence and play out a little scenario in their head of how people will respond?
It would do me so much good to improve in this area.
- micromacrofoot 2y agosimply pausing before speaking, even for a second, has done wonders for me... you can gain a little more time with a well placed "hmmm" occasionally
- adamc 2y agoThat's a hard question to answer, because I do it automatically, 100% of the time. For me it's probably a result of childhood trauma (and maybe a high degree of empathy). I suspect most people learn to do it as the result of bad experiences. As with many things, that's more likely in childhood.
