I’m just reading “Who’s Got Your Back?” Keith Ferrazzi which is a book about how to build deep friendships that help you to grow.
I don’t think the mindset of “Person A does emotional labor for person B” is anywhere in the book. The book rather promotes the mindset: “If person A is open to give and welcoming of accepting generosity from B that’s really great for both of them”.
I am more aware of my surroundings and emotions and the emotions of others both because I spent effort in the past training skills and because I spend effort in the present that takes nonzero energy to maintain.
I do have a well-trained ability to perceive the state of other people.
For myself. it doesn’t cost any energy to be in touch on the emotional level. It rather gives me energy.
Even though I do have a history of being more introverted I ask myself whether this might be the dynamic people mean when they say: “Extroverts recharge through being with other people while introverts recharge through being alone?”
