Really, when you think about it, how often are people...
really, really care about what goes on in your inner life and like, you know, ask you a lot of questions.
Anyway, so that's where really I'm coming from is that someone asks another person a question that you genuinely are interested in getting an answer to and then you share in response.
You don't just kind of, you know, share out of the blue.
Yeah, so like go slow.
Well, the vulnerability paradox, which we're kind of hitting on without naming it.
So vulnerability paradox is that we think being vulnerable will lead other people to like us less.
On average, people like us more.
So we think, yeah, we're so focused on the bad.
Like I reveal some kind of, I don't know, like bad habit I have.
And other people, I think it's so terrible, people will judge me and I'm embarrassed and other people just think it's human or maybe they have the same habit.
Actually, something happened to me a few weeks ago where I totally bombed giving a talk
I usually never do, but I just completely blanked out and I was just standing there on stage and I'm like, I don't know what comes next.
I literally said, I don't know what to say.
And it was mortifying.
And I can't tell you how many people came up to me later and were like, Sonia, I loved it.
It just made you more human.
Yeah.
So the thing that I thought was mortifying, other people thought was like a cute human failure.
I mean, that was an involuntary.
