Humans cannot avoid trying to influence others. Everything we say or do is examined and interpreted by others for clues as to our intentions.
📖 Robert Greene
Our social interactions are inherently interpreted as signals. Even if our goal is to be neutral or sincere, others will analyze our words and actions to discern our intentions. This constant process highlights the importance of awareness in communication, as every gesture and word contributes to how others perceive us. Recognizing this can lead to more mindful interactions, understanding that influence is inevitable and ongoing. Embracing this reality allows us to leverage influence ethically and authentically, fostering genuine connections rather than manipulative behaviors.
