You may be feeling a bit like the elephant in the room. It seems that people are milling about having conversations around you but not with you. This definitely leads to awkwardness for those wishing not to acknowledge you, but you feel a little left out, too.
Stop focusing on the current passing crisis and start to see that this is the beginning of something new. Basically, you can’t be ignored. You are a force and people just have to figure out how they are going to deal with you. Some may be more creative than others. Nevertheless, they will be coping with their own inner demons. Try not to exacerbate it by pointing out their uneasiness.
Doors will now be opening that have seemed completely closed in the past. Maybe it is just spring. Everything needs to be aired out. Opening doors is one way of doing it. Be prepared to make a quick exit, however, if circumstances dictate it. Be elegant about it. Go gracefully into the future.
Attitude is more important than altitude. Keep your dignity and don’t overstate any egotistical points of view. There is a temptation to let people know where you stand. Don’t do it. Play your cards close to your vest. The best card may well be the one you haven’t played.
