The words people use, the actions they take, their mood, the topic of conversation and their personality all influence how you think and feel.

Please don’t disregard this off hand. Humans are social creatures, we love to be included, accepted and connected. We have evolved to see and empathise with the emotions, thoughts and feelings of those around us. By putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes, we can almost feel what they are feeling and think what they are thinking. This process is vital if we hope to maintain any semblance of social connection, something which most people desire.
