If you’d hide your screen when someone walked by, you already know how it’s going.

The instinct to tilt a screen away arrives before any reasoning does, and it is unusually honest. Nobody is judging you in that moment except you, which is why the reaction is worth trusting. Most of the time you already have a verdict and are simply avoiding the part where you say it.

Rather than arguing with the feeling, ask what would have to change for you not to flinch. Then change that one thing, or admit that you would rather not, which is at least a decision made on purpose.
