I've noticed stress often shows up quietly before we name it: a short fuse, a foggy mind. Noticing early is a skill. What's your early sign?

Consider sharing this with someone who says they're fine.

@EstherPerel "You're always late" is rarely about time. It's about feeling unimportant. Your work on what sits underneath conflict is exactly this.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

One thing I've learned about conflict:

The original issue doesn't sustain most arguments.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@GottmanInst your research found most couple conflicts are never fully "solved". They're managed. This post is about the same idea: the argument keeps going because nobody feels heard, not because of the original issue.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@simonsinek trust grows when people feel seen, not assessed. Swapping caution for curiosity is one of the simplest ways to show someone they're safe with you.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

I've noticed that our first reaction to someone different is often caution.

I've learned it helps to notice it, then get curious. What helps you stay open?

@CIPD inclusion policies matter, but culture is built in the first five seconds of meeting someone new. Curiosity is a skill teams can learn.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@mentalhealth feeling that you belong protects mental health, and it starts with how we meet people who aren't like us. Prevention begins in everyday moments like these.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@actionhappiness connecting across difference is one of the most underrated routes to wellbeing. Small daily practice: notice the caution, then ask one curious question.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@GreaterGoodSC your research on curiosity and empathy backs this up: asking one question before judging changes the whole interaction. Would love your take on what helps most.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@SusanCain your work showed how much we miss when we misread quieter people. Difference is often depth we haven't taken the time to see yet.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@BreneBrown meeting someone different takes the same courage you write about. You have to stay with the discomfort long enough for connection to win.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@AdamMGrant your point that curiosity beats certainty fits here. That first flinch at difference doesn't mean we're closed-minded. It means we're on autopilot. Noticing it is where curiosity starts.

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@HappierMeApp This is an important reminder that understanding the mind should be part of everyday learning, not something we explore only when life becomes difficult. @CentreforMH @TheRoyalMHC

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

I've noticed that understanding our own minds can ease stress and improve how we relate and decide. It's a skill anyone can learn.

In this short video, I share why I created @HappierMeApp

#SelfAwareness #HappierMe

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@HappierMeApp Better relationships often begin with better self-understanding. When we become more aware of our own reactions, we can communicate with greater care and clarity. @LollyDaskal @FrankGQuinlan

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@HappierMeApp So much of how we experience the world is shaped by the way we interpret what happens around us. Understanding that connection is a powerful starting point. @JeffreyGuterman @AmyMorinLCSW

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@HappierMeApp The ability to pause, reflect and understand our reactions is valuable at every stage of life. It's something young people would benefit from learning early. @NatashaDevonMBE @PookyH

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@HappierMeApp Self-awareness isn't just about knowing our strengths. It's also about recognising our patterns, understanding our emotions and learning how to respond differently. @DrShawnPark1 @AllanRogers10

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@HappierMeApp Emotional wellbeing starts with recognising what is happening within us. Helping more people develop this awareness could make a real difference. @DrMDolan @JonnyBenjamin

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@HappierMeApp We often focus on changing our circumstances, but sometimes the most meaningful change begins with understanding our own thoughts and reactions. @Rubywax @SMartinLCSW

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

@HappierMeApp Understanding our own minds can change the way we respond to challenges, relationships and even everyday situations. Self-awareness is such an important skill to develop. @NiallBrez @MarkHenick

[Manoj Krishna @kspine]

They're sustained by two people feeling unheard, misunderstood, or defensive.

A moment of awareness can often achieve more than a stronger argument.
