Mistakes in Receiving Bids
To begin, the three mistakes I’ve made when receiving bids are ignoring, walking away, and interrupting. First, when I ignore a person it does not mean that I am despising the person without having met him. For example, “we also learned that once bidders are ignored or rejected, they often stop trying to connect again in the same way” (Gottman 18). This shows that ignoring people is not always going to try to connect with other people, it is just a lack of interest. Second, when I get away from a person, I just don’t want to have contact with him, so as not to strike up a conversation and be alone. For example, “They may experience feelings of loneliness, isolation, and rejection” (Gottman 46). This shows that not all people are interested in talking to other people and do not feel the need to reach out. Third, when he interrupted a person, he did it in a nice way and almost always changed the subject. For example, “I think interrupting can also be a sign of people’s enthusiasm for interacting with each other” (Gottman 50). This shows that it is not always harmful to interrupt one person, and it is not always to silence the other person.
