7 Good Minutes: Extra - The Two-Question Check Before You Over-Explain Yourself

The next time someone's reaction turns cold after something you said or did, there's a short check you can run before you react.

This episode walks through two quick questions: whether you actually acted honestly and reasonably, and whether there's something specific and real that's actually yours to fix. If there is, you handle that one thing and stop. If there isn't, you let your part be finished — without chasing reassurance or repeating explanations nobody asked for.

It's a two-minute practice you can use the next time an ordinary, honest decision leaves someone else looking disappointed.
