if you're really upset at somebody and you want to talk to them about it, But you're afraid that they won't be receptive to what you're gonna say. How do you calm your own ego down enough to get through to them, at least for your own sake? What are your guys' methods? I need some advice.
Stopping and taking a deep breath and really thinking about what you want to say, like you don't have to blurt the first thing that comes into your head, but you know take time and think about how you want to word things, even you know consult notes on your phone.
The fact that you're aware your own ego might gain the way of your judgment is a positive because then you can be self-aware so I think I think you'll be fine.
Yes, I suppose you're... that's true. Um, the... I had that talk with the people. I was upset at today. And it went really well, surprisingly. And it turns out I was overthinking the whole thing. Uh, but thank you, though.
Yeah, that's normally how it ends up going. I am a chronic overthinker. But you don't need to entertain the ideas that haven't happened. I used to worry about things all the time that haven't happened, but take one day at a time.
And you know what despite the fact that I knew that all these things were wrong And I knew that in that moment. I knew that I was taking a wrong decision. I took it I lost even more
And that's even more concerning. I can share the advice, but I don't guarantee that you're going to follow it because I didn't follow it at multiple occasions, even till now. I've been...
I've been making the same mistakes repeatedly, but the advice is really good and I'd heard it somewhere that when you blame others you have not even started.
When you blame others, you have not even started. When you blame yourself, you're halfway there. But when you blame neither yourself nor others, you're halfway there.
So when you blame neither yourself nor others, then you have arrived. So you should take everything in a very lighter note. Nothing actually matters as much as we...
Yeah, that's true, man. That's I've never heard that before. But, you know, I went through with a conversation that I had to deal with today. And that's actually really insightful. I think at least I'm halfway there.
I don't even waste my time. Because if I have to put in all of this work to get through to somebody then maybe it just ain't worth it. Especially if I'm not the person that broke the connection.
