We seem to assume that others know
what we want and how we want it, and get terribly hurt when they don't match up
with our expectations.
'How could they!' we rant.
How could they: Forget my birthday, not help me after all
I've done for them, not invite me to…, buy me that awful…, not take care of
things in the way I like…'
And when they don't read our minds as
we assume they should, we often experience (and perhaps enjoy?) a sense of
righteous indignation.
DANCE WITH IT! EXPERIENTIAL APPS An opportunity to experiment with some fun ideas…
LET'S FACE IT RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION CAN
FEEL GOOD…
BUT…
Does it really get
you what you want?
Make a list of the
times you've set yourself - and others - up in this way…
The times you've
expected them to KNOW what you want and how and when you want it…
Birthdays?
Support for a
particular project?
Understanding what
you are feeling?
Having your back?
How clear were you
about what you needed?
Who are the people
you tend to do this with? Everyone or
only certain people?
