I don’t get them at all.
I understand that they are different and a bit about why, but I don’t fully see their side.
I totally get where they are coming from even if they can’t fully articulate it, that doesn’t mean I necessarily change, but I can understand

Easily
Almost never
Sometimes I get an inkling, but I’m not sure.

Not totally, I don’t let it get that bad, but I have to be aware with some people
Yes, sometimes I’m with a person and I need to just leave and take a long nap no matter the time of day.

11. A new person enters the room, their eyes are downcast and their arms are crossed over their body, what do you do?


Nothing, I probably don’t even notice them.
I notice them and clock that they might be a bit upset, but I temper my response, I don’t need to get involved.
