Dear Gaia:
You just made it more enjoyable for me by offering to do something to make our communication .. more enjoyable to me. This is amazing, I am impressed. Not only are you very intelligent in the way you think and express your thoughts, you are also socially- intelligent. (I can almost “hear” you in my mind saying: no, I am not, you are just making it up, etc.)
-but you just reciprocated my offer to you from yesterday (“how would you like me to interact with you differently, so that you don’t feel that I define/label/put you in a box, what would I need to do differently?”), with your offer to me: “if there is something I can (do) better to make it more ‘enjoyable’ for you let me know!”-
that takes social intelligence, to do that, social skill, is another term.
Yes, you can do something to make it more enjoyable to me:
When you feel that I told you (typed, more accurately) something condescending to you, or I just put you down and treated you “like trash” or otherwise said something to you that I don’t mean, that is insincere, let me know what it is, quote that part or parts in my post to you and tell me what about it made you think or feel that it was condescending or insincere etc.
When you do that, I will respond and give you a chance to see what I typed to you in a different way, the way I meant it!
And if I do type something condescending to you, if that was my sentiment when I typed something to you, I will let you know of it and we’ll take it from there.
Feel free to let me know what I can do to make our communication better for you.
