I’m a very sensitive empathic guy who feels everything [...]

I guess we know what George Bush is— he drove into the garage wall when Laura told him his speech wasn’t very good.

“...everyone emoting openly and spontaneously without hesitation or shame.

...[Others] learn to keep a placid, neutral expression on their face and in their voice.”

Sounds like my wife and me.

I’d like

Frequent references to "me, myself, and I" are a common tell.

Freepers used to count the number of times Obama would say “I” in his speeches. I’m not sure anyone tempted fate with making it into a drinking game.

so, you praise and be neutral, no facial spasms...

Be critical and facial spasms...

...and we don't get the questions asked? sorry, but my gut tells me this story fits right in with “everyone gets a trophy” theory!!.

any sensible person would have a little Facial spasm if mocked/scrutinized for telling a truth on any question....

Any criticism of me is not enjoyed.

Afterall, I bring such joy to others.

How DARE you!

‘But more seriously, does one have to be a narcissist to frown momentarily at “unexpected criticism...”

My exact thought after reading the article.

I worked with a guy from South Africa & I was in a meeting with him and a lady and he was giving her negative feedback and I could see her getting more & more emotional & the guy from SA had no idea he was upsetting her until she started crying. Most unemotional, cold person I had ever met.

I’ve worked as manager of small groups of people over the years, and sometimes, it’s okay to be stone hearted if certain facts need to be made plain.

The trick is keep from conditioning one’s self to enjoy being stone hearted with out any attempt to negotiate, because then, it’s not so much about trying to train or educate the other worker, it’s more about the manager enjoying that power struggle, and needing to ‘prove’ to himself and those present that he, as the manager can jolly well crack the whip whenever he pleases, his workers will be expected to jump.

He was so detached, he couldn’t see anything 5” in front of his face. We were on a special project for the CIO and this guy went to the CFO to tell him that he should be running the effort, not the CIO. Since the project was in another building,security called our location & said he was not to be let in under any circumstances as he was terminated.
