From the article:
- You're in your boss's office and he keeps doing his e-mail, never looking at you. Do you assume he hates you, or the project you're working on? Do you keep trying to get his attention? Shut up? Skulk out?
You're cornered at a party by a woman who will not stop talking. She barely even stops to breathe. You try to say something about yourself. It doesn't penetrate. You withdraw eye contact, edge away, finally move to another room. She follows. How can you escape?
You've just done several nice things for your mother. Within minutes, she says, ''Why don't you ever do anything for me?'' Your blood pressure soars. What do you do? Ignore her? Fight back? Flee?
