“Unless someone tells you directly that they hate an idea, don’t want to collaborate with you, or don’t like your work, you are better off assuming a positive than a negative. Even when some of what you’re sensing is true, the truth doesn’t matter as much as your perception of it. Fixating on possible shade, inserting your own narcissism into someone else’s bad day, distorting conversations, and projecting negative feelings that don’t really exist or, if they do, are slight and insignificant—it’s all a slippery slope toward the crazy abyss.”
