one weird relationship tip by Ava

  • take a few minutes to locate where the other person is
    • new person: ask a few questions about their background, their week, their day. figure out the basics of who they are and how they're feeling
    • close person: ascertain their state. are they excited? impatient? angry? calm?
  • most of us are constantly consumed by our own thoughts and states. when interacting with people, do a quick check-in. focus on them and try to notice their affect.
