Reading and adapting

Ruperto guffawed.

‘You like Barbies!?!’

But Tamathy showed no sign of embarrassment in his reply so Ruperto changed tack at lightning speed, agreed with Tamathy and tried to top his story.

I think reading people and adapting to their expressions is an invaluable skill.

However changing your opinion to match whomever is in the room leaves you principle and opinion less.

I think the sweet spot is tactics that constantly change based on the conversation but views and assertions that come from within.
