A safe space or at least having a friendly face in the crowd

Good-ish

2024-02-05 19:42:12 UTC

Many of us want to be seen as good people. And when we mess up, we are then bad (that ol' binary!). If we think of ourselves as goodish, then we are mostly good, with flaws and stay in a growth mindset. Goodish can get us moving and not stuck in perfectionism, fear, etc.

2024-02-05 19:44:07 UTC

many of our comments are about feeling inadequate to the task - we need to think of ourselves as more capable than that! we can do this!

Bring up the subject, and share what we know about and see what the other person thinks of or knows about the topic.
