Okay. Really important. I'll give you a little bit of insight in how the sausage is made.

That's a huge mistake. We have piles of evidence showing that when people do reach out, it's way less awkward than they think. We're completely over-indexed on awkwardness. My view in general in life, reading the research, is that if you're feeling awkward about something, just freaking push through it. Don't let awkwardness, feelings of awkwardness, be that barrier.

So at one point I had a chapter called the rules of regret, where I was going to say, here's how regret works. Like we're just basically pull up the hood. These are the rules of regret. This is how regret works. Okay. And I was like, okay, should there be five rules or seven rules or whatever?

So I had this like these giant bulging folders of research and I was like, okay, I'm going to crack the code. I'm going to figure out the rules of regret. And I started going through the research and I'm like, oh, there's one rule. And the rule is, there's a big difference between regrets of action and regrets of inaction. Everything comes back to that difference.

Awkwardness is not a strong enough signal to stop you from doing something. Second thing is that we say people, but Hala's not going to care. People almost always welcome it. We're completely wrong on both fronts. We think it's going to be awkward and they're not going to care. And when we do it, it's not awkward and they always care. So connection regrets are if only I had reached out.
