A person's small actions are bids for connection.
Tracking these bids helps a person understand their social interactions. This method focuses on controllable behaviors to improve relationships.
Small interactions are like 'bids' for connection. A 'bid' is any attempt to get attention or affection from another person. These bids can be a smile, a question, or a shared joke. Tracking these bids helps a person see how often they try to connect. It also shows how others try to connect with them. This audit helps a person feel more in control of their social life. It focuses on small, easy-to-change behaviors.
A student feels lonely at school. A teacher suggests tracking 'bids for connection.' The student writes down every 'hello,' every shared laugh, and every offer to help. The student sees how many bids they send and receive. The student also notices bids they might have missed. This helps the student understand their interactions better.
