Has it ever happened to you \u2013 that you do something nice for someone else and they don\u2019t respond and so part of you is worried they didn\u2019t like it, but then you start to get mad, because you are thinking \u2013 they should have appreciated that gesture! And how could they?! So uncaring. Wow \u2013 they are really a jerk, after all. Or, maybe there\u2019s someone in your workplace who gave you a dirty look \u2013 and you can\u2019t figure out why, did they hear something? Do they really just dislike you? And if so, why?
