The Likability Audit
“Replay every interaction, score your performance, assume they scored it lower.” The liking-gap studies caught this auditor mid-lie: in labs, dorms and workshops, people consistently liked their conversation partners more than those partners believed — and the gap lasted months. The harsh reviewer in your head is reliably, measurably wrong in one direction.
RECOGNITION SIGNS
- 01
You leave a good conversation and immediately open the case against yourself.
- 02
You file 'we should do this again' under politeness and never test it.
- 03
You wait for them to follow up first, because their silence 'confirms' what your replay decided.
