Why is that when a big boss sneezes everyone says "cheers" and not many people do the same when an intern does? An exploration of attention and its dynamics, introducing Narcissus scale, Tokens and Buckets.
Hi Igor, thanks for the interesting post. I agree to the ideas in it maybe something interesting to add here: i read recently a post of one 3 kids Mom from ukraine who raised their kids alone and at the best age of after 40 moved to Germany :). She bekame a Diet coach and writes posts about corona etc. She wrote one interesting phrase: If one overeats somewhere in the world, there is for sure a person who undereats because of this overeating Person and because energy in the world dies not dissapear or appears but only changes from one Form in another... I think the Same ist true for attention, the Attention of those who do not Claim attantion ist stolen by those who are narcisist.... So people who are shy hurt wach other. Maybe it will be a good motivation for many to relook who they are and Distribute the Attention buckets equally as Well. Long live the balance... ;)
Thanks Natali, It is not the first time I hear this theory, some of my friends also had it! It is impossible to please everyone, so I guess what matters is that you are happy with your own balance. I am not sure, though, if there is anything to be done for an unbalanced Narcissus :)

As for narcissus - easy, just do not give them your attention ;)
