A monologue on reading and managing energy in social situations. The speaker breaks down how to recognize different types of energy around you and respond to them without getting pulled into negativity or forced positivity.
Most of us are really bad at feeling energy in the room and being able to diagnose exactly what it is and then be able to actually navigate around it in a way that isn't a black hole just sucking us into the abyss of what's happening. That's a skill, by the way, like being able to understand, oh, this is negative, and I refuse to be pulled into the tractor beam of negativity that is happening in my life. Or this is positive, but it's fake positive. So I'm going to like entertain it for a minute, but not get too close to it. That's another layer of understanding a room, understanding the energy of humans. And I don't mean to get off track here, but I want us to realize that when we think about this layers of not being a bad apple, when we think about the energy that is coming towards us, we also have to think about the energy that we're putting out. And we think about this things of negativity and positivity and being able to diagnose the energy in the room. You know, there's like AC and dc, right? Direct current and alternating current. Like, we have to understand, like this, this stuff is going both ways.
