Episode 163: Update to ”The gift of your absence”

My episode, ”The gift of your absence,” recently passed 100,000 views on YouTube. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to release an update responding to some of your feedback and criticism. Most importantly, I want to clarify that the primary goal in giving someone the gift of your absence is not to manipulate someone to chase after you. This can happen, but it shouldn’t be your primary motivation. Rather, this is fundamentally a strategy to increase your own self-value by exercising self-respect. This can be attractive in its own right -- over and above the value added by your scarcity. Thanks for your support!! #relationships #respect #value
