ืœื‘ืงืฉื” ืฉืœื ื• ืœืขื–ืจื”

02:22
OK?

142565

ืื•ืงื™ื™?
02:23
We all, to some extent, suffer from something that psychologists call

"the illusion of transparency" --

147068
2263
"ื”ืืฉืœื™ื” ืฉืœ ืฉืงื™ืคื•ืช" --
02:29
basically, the mistaken belief

149355
1670
ื‘ืขืงืจื•ืŸ, ื”ืชืคื™ืกื” ื”ืžื•ื˜ืขื™ืช

that our thoughts and our feelings and our needs

02:39
And so, we just mostly stand around waiting for someone to notice our needs
50
159222

ื•ื›ืš, ืื ื—ื ื• ืœืจื•ื‘ ืคืฉื•ื˜ ืขื•ืžื“ื™ื ื•ืžื—ื›ื™ื ืฉืžื™ืฉื”ื• ื™ืฉื™ื ืœื‘ ืœืฆืจื›ื™ื ืฉืœื ื•

and then spontaneously offer to help us with it.

2002
"ืืช ื‘ืกื“ืจ? ืืช ืฆืจื™ื›ื” ืžืฉื”ื•?"
03:05
because I am so, so bad at signaling when I need someone's help.
