The motivation was more to answer the question - "is she wrong in her thinking?". I am - I believe and have heard this - a good listener, patient, willing to let the other person speak, interested, etc. I read the Dale Carnegie book many years ago adn took it to heart - it is easy to listen, after all, moving the other person on with questions, signs of interest, etc. It is more somehow slotting into an ongoing conversation that eludes me, feeling outside the circle of talk, and not understanding how I can be respected and apparently liked professionally, but not do so well socially. Somehow it is making myself heard... assertion again ... that is not my nature, difficult...
Just saw my favorite cousin, shared a bottle of wine over italian food, wonderful guy who thinks carefully about how to get the most out of life - he spent a week, as a 16 year old, with the French army on Victoria Island on a survival training course, eating grubs, mushrooms, etc. and thought it was great -
