Shownotes
Have you noticed how sometimes we feel drawn to someone (or pushed away) before we know anything real about them?
We’ve all felt it:
• That instant “home” sensation with someone we barely know
• The quiet hope that a new connection might repair something old in us
• The whisper after betrayal: Please be safe. Please be different
• Confusing quick rapport with real trust, or trusting charisma over character
Our first impressions aren’t neutral. They arrive carrying projection, aspiration, desire, and the stories our body remembers before we do.
There’s one question that changes everything: Do I feel more me next to this person… or slightly distorted?
My new episode explores this with depth and clarity. The Law of Educated Guesses: Why We Misread People, and Why It Feels So Real.
