Struggles with boundary discovery

How some people struggle to calibrate depth, intensity, and charge in real time with other people.

😖 Why is this so difficult?

Most people rely on binary signals to engage with others:


  1. Interested / not interested
  2. Smart / not smart
  3. Open / closed
  4. Engaged / disengaged


This works fine for most social and simple interactions.


But fore relationally complex interactions, a higher degree of resolution is needed.


More relationally attuned people know that relational engagement is continuous, not binary.


🌶️🌶️🌶️ isn’t “bad” — it’s might just be wrong for the context or moment.
