Why simply checking in with someone we haven't spoken to in a while is likely to mean more to them than we could imagine, explains DrHollyParker
People don't always take the step of connecting with someone they haven't talked with in a while, even if they want to do so.The results revealed that people tend to miscalculate the beneficial impact of contacting someone for no reason other than to touch base.
Have you ever thought of reconnecting with someone whom you haven’t spoken to in a while, but then didn’t see that idea through? Odds are you’ve had that experience because, well, it’s not always so easy to make contact—and most of us are all-too-aware that a well-intended, warm message could be met with a standoffish response .
Second, their findings also threw light on a potential reason underlying this miscalculation: The person who sends the greeting and the one who receives it aren’t paying the samesuch a gesture would feel. As the investigators point out, surprise is relevant here, in part due to other research showing that surprise can heighten the emotional tone of a situation.
