The next step is, what are the characteristics of these Uncle Marvins and Aunt Marias?

So the research shows there are, I call them the big five characteristics.

The first one is just general warmth.

The second is non-judgmental.

The third is an incredible listener.

The fourth is compassionate.

And the fifth is steady presence or reliability.

Notice what's not there.

Brilliant, problem solver, fixer, advice giver.

Because what I find in my research is something remarkable, that most people say they're afraid to be the emotion ally for somebody else.

Because they don't feel confident and capable.

I don't know what to say or do.

But notice the characteristics.

They're not asking you to do very much except be present.

It's amazing to me.

People say, I'm afraid because I'm not sure if they say something.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

I'm not going to be able to fix their problem or give them the advice that they need.

And I said, no one's looking for advice.

No one's looking for fixing.
