If you've seen the movie the Matrix, that's kind of how I'm starting to feel about my life. Its like I was living this life and it was fine but I couldn't see the reality of it. As I get more distance, and talk to people, I'm shocked at the things they bring up or mention that I never saw and how it all seems to coalesce with my new view of reality.
Its creating cognitive dissonance for me, where I'm second guessing everything.
Being able to step outside of your sitch is a good skill. You look at it with a new set of eyes. You are looking into the "fishbowl". No emotional response. You logically decided how one of the people should interact with the other one. You then control the one person that you can. Let the other do whatever they are going to do.
Before you act, you can ask yourself : What would LH19 do in this sitch? Steve85? R2C? What would Sandi2 say to do?
