They Know (Right?)

Herding Expectations

There are friends you have that if you text, you know will text you back right away.

There are coworkers who you know that if you email, you’ll have to follow up again in a day to get a response.

There are people who bring out a younger version of yourself every time they talk to you and others who make you think deeply with challenging life questions.

You know these people because they’ve been consistent with how they interact with you.

Others have expectations of you, too. You’ve built them up over time.

Alas, it doesn’t take too long to change perception. Surprise someone a few times with the opposite of what they expect and they’ll start to expect that from you.

We’re works in progress and there are certainly behaviors that we’d rather be known for that what we currently are.

Permission is ours.
