When someone seems distant or off, resist the urge to judge them. Check in instead of checking them. They might be dealing with something you don't know about. Shift from automatic negative thinking to curiosity about what's actually going on.
You know, before you get upset or bothered with someone because you think they're acting funny, because they're not responding to you the way that you want them to respond to you, I want you to take into consideration that they might be going through something. And so check in with them instead of trying to check them. Start leaning with understanding instead of instead of trying to determine whether someone is right or wrong, and avoid that ANT mindset, that automatic negative thinking.
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
