I think that, most of the time, it is good enough to simply be acknowledged.

I like to watch old historical stuff with people who are long gone. Just to remind myself I'm just a "blip" on the timeline of history and nothing I do or say, or don't do or say will ever really matter that much.

That can be a calming perspective.

I remember when I was doing product development research on toilet paper, and feeling that what I was doing wasn't really all that important. Not like doing research on cancer.

And then I realized that, if I had a bad day, it's no big deal. It's not like people are dying. Imagine the stress of people who are doing critical medical research.

Emotional detachment is about neutral acceptance, not apathy.

You don’t have to stop caring about people. You can care about how they feel, without worrying about how they feel about you.

I'm thinking about writing an article on the www.HighProbabilitySelling.blog where I will go more deeply into this. Let me know if you want to see something like that.

You don't have to be defensive in order to protect yourself.
Is anyone else having troubles with their WordPress websites hosted on GoDaddy?

What if you used the word "could" whenever you would normally use the word "should"?

What would that be like?

I try not to "should" upon myself (or on anyone else). Wish it were easier.
