In "The Art of Action," author Susan C. Young emphasizes the importance of engagement in interactions. When individuals fail to actively participate in conversations, it can unintentionally convey indifference or a lack of interest. This disengagement can suggest to others that they are insignificant or that you have no time for them, which is often not the intended message.

Younger points out that being mindful and intentional during interactions is crucial to forming meaningful connections. Cultivating awareness in these moments can help ensure that your presence is felt positively, enhancing the quality of relationships and promoting forward momentum in communication.
