Yes, exactly.
And the coordination is tricky in part because...
our feelings change during the conversation.
How often have you been in a conversation where the first few minutes you thought, okay, we didn't click, forget it.
And then a few minutes later, you're really into it.
Yeah.
So the dance of leaving is happening at the same time sometimes as the dance of, wait, I actually want to stay.
You know what drives me crazy?
What?
When somebody says...
Sometimes people end meetings early and they say, I'm going to give you your time back.
One of my biggest pet peeves.
You don't own my time.
You can't give it to me.
This is a coordinated decision.
I chose to meet with you.
If I want my time back, I will claim it by ending the meeting.
Or we should decide together.
It does.
And there's a little... It smacks of entitlement to me.
