Hi Not sure what it says up there. I am home sick and really struggling to keep myself calm today.

Oh no, that's no fun being sick. 😟 Do any of these things feel appealing?

@QuietMagicHow has your week been? My week has been up and down as usual for me. It is ending on an unnecessarily suspenseful note.

What do you consider to be your biggest strengths? I try to be as nice as possible to others, unless they give me a reason to treat me otherwise.

My biggest strength is my empathy for others. I can imagine myself in the situation that person is in at that moment and feel what they must be feeling. I find a way to relate to them and I give them support.

That's awesome! The world definitely needs people who are able to understand others and use that insight to find the right things to say that are non-violent and supportive. 💜

@purpleTree4652

Sorry that things have been suspenseful and I hope that the tension/uncertainty gets resolved soon!

That's a great strength. 💜 And that "unless" you mentioned is understandable: where if someone isn't respectful, then certain charitable assumptions or behaviors that might be the default start to feel like they yield worse results than a more self-protective strategy.
