Last week I got my nails done as therapy after I had a bad day. I must've given off sad vibes, or maybe his day was rough too, because the guy that did them was not very talkative to me like he normally is. I noticed that he rushed through the process and wasn't as careful as he normally is. I thought this was interesting because we sort of fed off of each other's energies and sat there with very minimal interaction. A few days later they started to chip (which shouldn't happen for 3 weeks) so I went back in and the man that fixed them was very upset that this had happened. I tried to tell him that it was okay, but he was too concerned about who did my nails the first time and why it had happened. The rest of the time was awkward because he was so upset, even though I tried to reassure him that it wasn't a big deal. Everything I said seemed to go in one ear and out the other. I found this interesting because he wasn't really participating in our interactions. I tried to ease his frustrations but he didn't listen, and I learned that it is important to focus on both sides of the conversation when you're interacting with someone and not just what you're dealing with in the moment.
