Having been/am the other side this... they're probably relieved too. It can be counter-intuitive. Despite nature... there is potential for the desired outcome - with less pressure, honest [not forced] engagement.
Personally, my apprehension comes from within. It's nothing to do with anything 'outside'. My water level is different, that's all. Most reasonable people feel overbearing - it's on me, not them.
- eleveriven 2y agoHmm, your analogy about water levels is so relatable. It captures how people’s capacity to engage can differ without it being anyone’s fault
- bravetraveler 2y agoThank you, indeed. I can't take much credit... I heard it somewhere and think on it too much. We all carry different amounts and it's not all visible :) This affects us differently when things are smooth, rocky, or even just changing. I have been exceedingly lucky so far to have mostly-cooperative environments, perhaps too much. I've been enabled to a few degrees
- tejaskumar_ 2y agoExactly! And there's billions of people on the planet—at some point, people meet people with similar water levels.
