So the next time you interview somebody where you might feel that way, you remind yourself it is through that reflection that we can change. If we don't take the time to reflect, if we don't give ourselves grace, we're going to fall victim to that same cycle over and over again. So congrats on doing it and congrats on feeling a little embarrassed. That means that this was important for you.

I think the same idea when it comes to telling stories about ourselves or that are very personal to us versus soliciting stories and input from other people. So I think you should tell some, because if not, it just sounds like you're interrogating people if you don't share anything about yourself. But if you say too much about yourself, then it becomes almost rude.

Absolutely. Absolutely. And that's why going into those situations, thinking about questions you might want to ask is always a good thing. Even if it's spontaneous, even if I'm going into a party or to some kind of conference setting where there's going to be people milling around, right before I go in the room, I can come up with two or three questions that I'm interested in.
