Power dynamics in your social world are extra sharp today. If you start obsessively decoding a bluntly placed period in the group chat, or if you catch yourself measuring your clout against the relative popularity of your friends, that’s your cue to pause and reassess. Whenever you feel like there are ulterior motives at play, practice addressing them directly. That’s how you’ll learn to lead every conversation not with your own fears but with mutual respect and love.
