Tuning in to others is a circular flow: you send yourself out toward people; you receive them as they respond to you. ↗

I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice. I get more than my share of compliments as I walk through my daily life. I'm not having to show off or make a point about how good I am at doing something. I think I've always kind of been that way. ↗
