Few social behaviors are explicit

This means most intentions behind our actions are hidden. If someone is feeling depressed or angry, usually their behaviors are distorted.

Focus on empathy, which leads to trust between people. This way, you can usually break the shell people have and get to the heart of the issue faster.

Other people don't know how you truly feel. So, don’t get angry when people don’t respond to you. Don't get angry when people don't get you.
