I can& #39;t wait to recommend this to anyone who is in a position to teach, mentor or lead
There is so much wasted potential energy when these interactions come from a place of fear

This is the precise thing I learned to get from "nervous interviewer" to "good interviewer"
Occasionally I get flustered and think "wow that interview didn& #39;t go well" and it& #39;s pretty much always when I don& #39;t manage to do this

There are many things in the Status chapter which my dancer& #39;s instinct recognises
Trying to get people to change tiny little body things because it changed the whole way I partnered with them

Now I know why!

Conversations are 100% more fun when you can status flip back and forth between you
I love love interacting with people who /play/ with me with their words and body language

My pillow talk game is about to get so much better just from this chapter
Ever grateful to my first dance teacher (in Argentine tango, which I sadly no longer do) who made me learn to hold still before he taught me any moves

Many solid learnings, but I also cannot understate the sheer quantity of deep belly-laughs I& #39;m getting from this book https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">

Damn, remembering all the genres of art I stopped producing because I internalised that it wouldn& #39;t be good so I tried harder which made the art worse and then cycle https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Loudly crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Loudly crying face">

No, worse than that: not just that the art wouldn& #39;t be good. That I as a person was deficient
Inelegant, clumsy, forced, tasteless. Ugly
For some naive poetry and some lacklustre sculpture? An awkward audition?

I remember my first drama class aged 11, I didn& #39;t get on with it even though I tried so hard. My imagination was dry and I envied my classmates& #39; flair
I was already too afraid. Foreign, scared of the language, desperate to be liked

I gravitate towards the people who make me feel safer this way, relaxing my guard a bit at a time
I have a strong flinch reaction, even with them, when I sense some judgement
Sometimes someone /tells/ me they think my ideas are good, but I see in their face that it is not so

I love "obvious", in non-fiction and learning contexts. "Obvious" means simple, useful, popular, worthwhile, and best of all - memorable.
I should extend that to creative pursuits too!
