    Exciting video, A year ago i took the no contact route, well i wouldn't say it didnt go well, but i missed her and sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone and go for what you want, Without knowing and having a huge ego, we might actually miss out on our soul mate all in the name of not settling for less, I know who i am fand at the same time i know what i want for me, so i did all i could to get her back, and I must say, it was the best decision i have ever made, we have been together again for over 7 months, yes marriage isnt always rosey, but i am lucky to have her, just as she is to have me, we compliment each other

      its difficult to let go of someone you love, i am in a similar situation, and i do not know what else do to have him back, i have been dying inside, people actually think i am happy, i am not. I feel your pain sister, after trying out the no contact experiment that failed miserably, i had to find other means, i had to reach out to a spiritual adviser, it was brilliant idea which i never thout it was, but it worked wonders for me.

    1st Pillar : Adjust your voice according to confront person and should be open body language .
    2nd Pillar : Find common thing between you and other.
    3rd : Vulnerability after good
    rapport is established

    I love this video. I always hear people say, "Building rapport, building rapport," but I never understood how. I've seen people not really building connections when they thought they were. Humans are hard-wired to connect. I really hope someday I can master this skill.

    Authentic, naturally developed connections with people are under rated. You would be surprised to discover how acceptable it is to create and force connections with others.

    We humans made these things very complicated. It used to happen naturally with no trouble at all. Still if you go to a small town. People don’t have to think about anything, don’t have to pretend anything. This is all natural

    I honesty, absolutely hate this. I hate the idea of being less you to build a relationship. Its so weird and manipulative and invalidating to self. I guess if its temporary but this is precisely what I hate about human beeeeings. I want to believe you can have power and connections without the bs. Gonna try to manifest it. Fingers crossed 🤞

      I do not think this is what she is saying.

    • @swedishmythopoeia4540
      @swedishmythopoeia4540 Місяць тому

      Ironically, she is saying just this by reducing heavily laden words like ”authenticity” and ”vulnerability” to mere utilities. Tools to win favor for purely commercial reasons. Of course she’s free to do so and as a presentation of tactics her presentation is quite cogent. The next step for her is to be more conscious, explicit about her unambiguous use of these concepts. Say how she’s reduced key concepts/terms and leaving room for them to mean more in non-commercial contexts. That’s how she’ll stop confusing listeners/readers more sensitive to breathless monitization of words deeply laden with more sacred meanings about human love and bonding.

    Story sounds contrived. How many 9 years old's do you know that think like she is telling you. That notice a persons accent and know what it means. Same old BS. Make something up that helps you make a sale and is comfortable lying to your face.
