"Reading the Room"
"Reading the Room"
. . . is about your social/emotional success and survival in relationships and business.
Evaluating the other persons' intentions; agenda and neediness is the key to not being manipulated, pressured or recognizing confrontational people - ahead of time.
For Example:
-
does the person act unsure or insecure
-
do they seem quick to feel frustration or anger
-
do they act aloof or too into themselves
-
do you feel their neediness
The more you look beneath the surface you open yourself to greater confidence and compassion instead of prejudice or quick, superficial judgments.
The Reality of Love
-
This a partial roadmap to a few basics for a realistic approach to a strong and healthy intimate relationship (the rest of the map will come later).
-
You can't actually love what you do not value.
-
You can't value what you don't know about the other person.
-
You can't know without listening.
-
You can't listen if you really only hear yourself.
The Reality of
Narcissists
Eighty percent of those who are genuine narcissists live with deep, strong, major league insecurities. That's a fact!
-
Most people labeled "narcissist" are actually borderline personalities or just self-absorbed and emotionally immature.
-
The key part to a narcissist is their pattern of being vindictive. They have a strong need to hurt anyone who disagrees or fails to adore them - and it's not just due to a moment of frustration. A real narcissist will plot, plan and wait to hurt others.
-
Why is this important? Because you see this in personal relationships, business relationships and especially in politics!
