So while you sit with that, text this to somebody who deserves to hear this.

Text this to somebody that stays silent and you want them to be more open.

And we're going to take a short break.

We're going to let our sponsor shine.

Do not go anywhere because Harvard Business School professor Dr. John has so much more to teach you, including she's going to explain why saying the thing you're afraid to say

builds trust, not fallout.

Stay with me.

Welcome back.

It's your friend, Mel Robbins.

We're here today with Harvard Business School professor, Dr. Leslie John, talking about the benefits and the skill of being open.

All right.

So Dr. John, this is where I wanted to go next.

You know, you hear a lot in the news right now about loneliness.

Mm-hmm.

Yep.

And how does just kind of having these surface-level interactions with people and not really opening up about anything or not being curious...

about the people in your life such that you're wanting them to open up?

How is that contributing to the disconnection that you're feeling?

Oh, that's an interesting distinction.

So your cup is full.
