This section was the hardest for me to understand. I personally don't like the idea of building a mental theory of mind and then evaluating your responses based on how you think someone might react. I prefer to be authentic in my action even when I know it is going to be ill received or not be in my advantage. I do what I do for a reason and I have to trust my internal compass. If after all that my actions are taken the wrong way then I accept that. Self reflection to keep myself in check, most of the time i stand by what I said. You cant live life without being mean, rude, offensive sometimes thats what the situation calls for.

But maybe im an asshole, I genuinely have no idea.
