And from hearing your talk today,
we know that the right answer
to that question
is to build more warm connections.
But I want to ask you
about the use of the word "choice" there
and understanding more about whether
or not having warm connections
is a choice that we make
or, to put it another way,
are there qualities that each of us have
that maybe make us more social people
and that these are just baked
into our personalities?
Can we decide to be a person
who makes connections?
RW: That's a really important
point because we differ.
We are all different in how much
connection we want and benefit from.
So some of us are introverts,
and that’s just fine.
That's perfectly normal.
And introverts don't want
a lot of connections.
In fact, being with a lot of people
is exhausting for introverts.
And so some people just need one
or two good relationships.
Everybody needs a little
bit of connection.
But some people actually don't need a lot.
And so what we want to do
is try to figure out for ourselves
what's right for me.
