I still struggle to make eye contact when I feel this way, which is more often than I'd like. Or it should be, frankly. Working on it. But the other day I had lunch w/ a pal...and, for the first time, noticed how her not making eye contact felt like a wall was up between us. Except I know she didn't mean to build it. She struggles like we all do. My goal: to look...AND listen better

Thx too for the intro to "compersion" - I'd never heard the term before.

Bravas as well for the bravery in sharing so honestly.
