Human beings are social animals, as it seems I talk about every other talk.

We are provided our great survival advantage by or through our capability to bond and

coordinate and stay connected with each other and this process is not just born of language the ability

to express our ideas and our life stories to each other and the image we want to convey about ourselves and our concerns about our reputation.

The right hemisphere of the brain connects with other people through emotional activations, through expressions of our basic effects, sadness, joy, loss, anger, frustration, shame. The motions that we feel are not just there to push us to do something,

like fear compels us to run, or anger compels us to confront some form of threat or injustice.

But our emotions allows us to connect.

If we didn't, if there was no social function for emotions, they would be simply felt internally as feelings.

But emotions are actually conveyed or expressed on the outside of the body and conveyed to the people that are important to us our state of being.

So while we use language to connect with other people and express our plans,

our emotional expressions on our face, our body language, our tone of voice,

is the way we signal whether we feel well connected, whether we feel disappointed,

whether we feel frustrated. It's an entire language in and of itself.

So we're constantly connecting in two ways.

While I talk to you if we were having a conversation,

you would be listening to my words,

but your right hemisphere would be monitoring my facial expression,

seeing what I was signaling to you.

Am I signaling to you confidence or lack thereof and am I signaling to you honest transparent authentic expression of an idea or am I signaling to fear, anxiousness, concerned doubt?

So we're also deeply wired to experience feelings of shame and embarrassment when we encounter

or when we act upon selfish motivations.
