I definitely think there is a mindset.

thank you for that invitation yeah i definitely think there is a mindset switch after three years of working with jacob i think i'm inclined now to see other humans as like me rather than as an other and it really is like a conscious decision it's like a mental switch when i see someone now i try to relate to them how are they similar to me do they have the same suffering as me um

Rather than like focusing on, oh, they look different from me or they speak differently from me. I'm always looking for commonalities. And that just kind of allowed me to warm up to people quickly. I have so much to thank for Jacob's existence and everything else.

Oh, yeah. So after the event every year, I always have takeaways and I try to practice. This year, I focused a lot on consent, since that was a pretty big part of Finding Humans Less Scary 2. I find that consent is such a genius idea because... Vulnerability is a super great skill to connect with other people, but that consent really helps me balance and allows me to check in.

Is my vulnerability welcome here? Is this a good option? And so I love when Jacob asks, would you like a handshake or would you like a hug? And it gives the option to the other person. It's very honoring.

Yeah, and I think consent even goes past just physical touch. It can even be used for giving a compliment. That's something Jacob also taught me is asking someone instead of love bombing them right away, like, would you like a compliment? And that's like very honoring. Instead of like me going to David, oh, David, you taught me everything I know. You've changed my life. Thank you so much.

I think maybe David might like an invitation first. Like, hey, David, would you like a compliment from me about what you've done for me?

Yeah. When I think about vulnerability, I sometimes think about the age old, tell me about yourself question. So when I think about that question, tell me about yourself, I instinctively think about my secondary characteristics, like my title and my job, my ethnic background as a Chinese American, where I live, where I grew up.

But when I think about it some more, it doesn't really answer, tell me about yourself. It doesn't allow people to get to know me and who I am. It says something about my superficial characteristics and some parts of the life I've lived, but doesn't really give people a feel of who I am.

Whereas if I tell people instead that I love to host events, not just finding humans less scary, but in general, because I love to see people happy and to bring something new to the table, something exciting. I'm also a very sensitive person who gets hurt easily, but also shows that I'm very perceptive and sharp.
