If you feel like youâre âcloseâ to people but still feel really disconnected, this might be why.
Harvard Business School professor and behavioral scientist Dr. Leslie John says most of us worry so much about oversharing that we end up doing the opposite - we undershare, and it erodes our relationships.
She explains that a life of undersharing is a life of missed opportunities: friendships that never deepen, colleagues who never fully trust you, and relationships that stay surfaceâlevel even after years together.
Her advice? Do an audit. Ask yourself:
What might I be missing by holding back?
In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Dr. Leslie John breaks down the science of connection.
She teaches you how to tell the difference between being private and being closed off, why staying silent and holding back feels safer than really it is, and the exact decision-making tool Dr. John teaches at Harvard Business School - so you always know when to speak up and when to stay quiet.
