Unlabelling Effect

There are a number of reasons people play mind games, but the goal is usually to gain a sense of control or power over another person. The player wants to get a specific response, but instead of telling you what they need or asking for what they want, they try to get their needs met by using manipulative tactics. It’s all about feeling powerful and in control, but those feelings never last for very long. Any time we try to use someone else to make ourselves feel better, it usually doesn’t end well. It’s almost impossible to create an authentic connection with someone when honest communication is missing from the picture.

It can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between someone who might be a little insecure or socially awkward from a person who is actively trying to manipulate you.

We are so glad to have @thesandrachan with us in this episode🎙.

Do we know the love language that we appreciate the most? Is it expressing love through gifts or words of affirmation or perhaps quality time or acts of service or physical touch? 

We were inspired by Jay Shetty, he shared how we should connect with each other with real empathy by using their emotional language, not our own (https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cei6mQWv3U2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link). Similarly, is the way we communicate our wanted love language(s) and expressing love the right way that our receiver(s) can reciprocate?

You want to be true to yourself, not a slavish follower of social expectations. But authenticity is a slippery thing. Although most people would define authenticity as acting in accordance with a set of values and qualities, research has shown that people feel most authentic when they conform to a particular set of socially approved qualities, such as being extroverted, emotionally stable, conscientious, intellectual and agreeable.

So how exactly will we know if we are being truly authentic, and how exactly do we make the daily decision of acting as our true self, or acting according to our role in society?

As humans, we enjoy social interactions while in our S3EP5 episode, we talked about Introverts versus Extroverts. In this episode, we are going to explore the idea that regardless of whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, can we build who we want to be socially?  

Crying in the workplace can be embarrassing, but it’s also a sign that you care.

We spend around 90,000 hours of our life at work—so it shouldn't really come as a surprise that many of us have (or will) at some point shed a few tears while at our jobs.

That being said, while the probability of crying at work is fairly high, the workplace appears to be one of the last forums in which we feel the need to suppress our emotions, all of which begs the question:

Is it ever okay to cry at work?

People drink socially for a variety of reasons. Alcohol is perceived to be a social lubricant that improves mood, reduces self-consciousness, and enhances social skills . We talked about social anxiety in season 3 episode 11 where individuals experience heightened stress in social situations. In response, they turn to alcohol. Today, let us discuss our relationship with alcohol.
