Well, I think so. She sticks up... |

| i've become pretty excellent at soliciting clarification of what i have just heard. i look at asking for clarification as a kind of "preventative medicine." it snuffs out any future difficulties before they occur. that's the only reason i can do it. however, when i am selectively listening to someon... |

for whatever reason, i have no concept of voice modulation either. specifically volume.
i don't know how that can be helped really. the only thing to do is remind her of why you speak so loudly. |

If society is "devaluing the right brain", why is it so many sucessful people are considered to be intuitive? I do not think that they got sucessful in spite of their right brain skills, rather becaus... |
