Pressing buttons
Add comment June 7th, 2006
If there’s one thing I seem to have a knack for, it’s pressing people’s buttons. I often find topics or comments which cause an emotional reaction in whoever I’m talking to, and then I try to find a reason for their reaction.
I do it not for the excitement of finding buttons to press, but for the purpose of finding a reason for the emotional reaction and pointing it out to them. If they’re the slightest bit interested in learning about themselves and growing beyond those things that frustrate them (which are often reflected by emotional barriers of some kind) they’ll see it for what it is, and understand that it’s telling them a little bit more about themselves. If they’re not interested, of course, then they won’t bother looking at what they can learn from their emotions and the conversation. And that’s ok too.
