Great insights from someone who didn’t even grow up in New York (coming from someone who did). I agree that most of us could do a better job of tuning in when we don’t feel right. As you suggest, it’s easy to jump to negative conclusions. My own clients are all lawyers and they get paid to figure out what might go wrong. That’s an occupational hazard for lawyers in dealing with their own lives and careers. I’m sure many other analytical professionals (including doctors and psychological professionals) have the same challenges in life. I like your list!
