Not great at some of the emotional assuagences. Like, it's not enough to be right, you also have to make them feel good. Hell, you don't even have to be right.
Sometimes I feel it's like "hey don't eat that it'll make you sick" -> "fuck you don't tell me what to do" -> they get sick and learn nothing.
Like, we're all emotional. Me, you, everyone. But I feel like some people listen to almost entirely the emotional channel, and I don't really know how to tap into that very effectively.
