Notice yourself in interactions with people...
- are you relaxed and settled into the moment, and the interaction, rather than being impatient?
- do you feel connected with the person you interact with, and feel like you understand each other?
- ask questions to clarify things, or to gain further understanding and connection points
- explain yourself more, or share more information to help others empathize with you, and understand you
- notice if you avoid connecting in various ways (for example, making eye contact, having in-depth conversations, sharing information, etc), and ask yourself what the resisistance is, and if you can lean more into connecting with others.
