I realise that I might be being tone deaf about certain things, especially when I am supposed to show empathy to close ones.
I need to improve.
My usual manner of talking to someone - at work/or at home/or with the kid....is I am usually I am the mode of first joining hands, and then moving inches. (Of course in a serious context based chat). I dont do this at a speak easy..
Like when I am speaking to my kid, it's usually about how I might help, and what we can do together. The tone deaf bit here is - its possible that all my kid wants to do, is talk, or rant or even bounce ideas. I have to do nothing - other than listen.
That's a mode I don't operate well in. Just listening. Hence tone deaf :-)
