RE: Giving Yourself Permission to Shine Brightly
Yes! Your comment reminds me of the term "non-complementary behavior" that I learned from an episode of thr Invisibilia podcast called Flip the Script
In this episode we look at situation where someone flips the script – does the opposite of what their natural instinct is, and in this way transforms a situation. Usually when someone is hostile to us, we are hostile right back. The psychological term is "complementarity." But then in rare cases someone manages to be warm, and what happens as a result can be surprising.
You are totally doing that and making the world a slightly better place by doing so! Good job!
Sounds interesting and makes total sense! We can enhance our connections with other people, even strangers, one smile at a time ☺️
