Ep. 220 | Why You Take Someone's Bad Mood Personally (And How to Stop)

I was at a meeting last week, settled in my seat and deep in my own head, when my friend Pam walked in late. She was happy to see me, and I just glanced at her and sank right back into my own stuff. I didn't think twice about it.  Turns out Pam spent the whole meeting sure I was mad at her or didn't recognize her. When I hugged her at the end, she told me, and I realized I've been Pam a hundred times, spinning a story about a cold look that was never about me at all.  This is an episode about giving people the most generous interpretation, because everyone's carrying weather you can't see. This is an episode about why we take other people's moods personally, and how the most generous interpretation is usually the true one. **Question to carry into your day:** Whose coldness have you taken personally lately, that might have had nothing to do with you at all?  Want to work together?
