In her book "The Art of Body Language," Susan C. Young emphasizes the significance of our emotional responses in relationships. She suggests that our feelings when we are with someone can serve as a crucial indicator of the relationship's overall health. If a person elevates our mood, it often signifies a positive connection, while someone who makes us feel down can indicate underlying issues.
Young proposes that assessing how we feel in the presence of others is a straightforward yet effective way to gauge relational dynamics. This reflection on our emotional state can help us understand the impact others have on our well-being and guide us in fostering healthier interactions and connections.
