“The hard truth is often simply: learn to act like a normal person.”

“Yin and Yang Another way to think about the top of the scene is with the Taoist principles of yin and yang. Yin is passive, patient, empathetic, malleable. It is akin to a “yes.” Yang is active, assertive, decisive, altering. It is akin to an “and.” After a series of small moves that simply confirm information without adding a lot, it’s time for a “yang” move: make a decision, add some information. But once someone makes a big “yang” move, then it’s time for a simple “yin” response. Confirm and unpack what was just added. Even a beat of silence is a good idea.”
