There is an advantage to being a dominant with a few more candles on her birthday cake. I know to change the subject when a discussion is going nowhere. I recognize when someone will not hear, consider or acknowledge my position in the matter. I realize more quickly when things are not as they are presented or packaged. I know when to be silent.
And I have discovered those who truly respect me will ask, “What's up?” This is when I know the person is open to hear me, consider me and acknowledge me. Sometimes the question is asked in the moment. Sometimes it is asked much, much later. What is important to me is that the person asked.
