Let's be honest, who doesn't get a little bit of a warm feeling when they get upvotes for a comment they made? PS, I'm feeling a little chilly at the moment.
Relatability is a key trait that makes someone or something easy to connect with. It’s why most (if not all) of these memes can hit home for many of you readers. They can speak to you in a way that triggers an emotion or resurrects a memory.

I was like this whenever I worked night retail shift (so not particularly long/late in my case. 5-9PM.) But it really is a thing! Because you have this *thing* at the end of the day, most of the day is unproductive because you're just waiting to go to work. (Or maybe I'm just terrible at managing my time. Possibly. Maybe.)

Being relatable is a top goal for many people, whether it’s a business establishing its brand or a person in a new environment trying to make friends. As digital media expert Ephraim Cohen puts it, “The phrase ‘I can relate’ speaks volumes.”
“Relatability is potentially the most potent force in building trust, shaping perceptions, and driving behaviors,” Cohen wrote in an article on LinkedIn.

The more people can connect with you as a person or a brand, the more you can persuade them to listen to what you have to say. It’s why entrepreneur and philanthropist Wayne Elsey describes relatability as “the art of connecting with others on a personal level.”
“When your brand is relatable to your target audience, and when people see what they value in your brand positioning, they no longer view you as just another business,” Elsey wrote in an article for Forbes.

I think of this as the Pandora effect - their algorithms pick new music for you based on your voting, and that one song crossed into 'he might like this one.' I've found that to be true many times but when I go look, that's the only song of theirs that I liked. The algorithm actually worked.

I think of it as a digital problem. In the past a band could struggle for years and when they got a chance to record their first album they could choose from several years worth of music. Sometimes later albums would also be good and other times a year wasn't enough to to come up with an album's worth of good songs. Today a band or artist doesn't necessarily need an album's worth of material because each individual song is its own product that can be marketed without enough decent content to fill an album. The listeners need to be exposed to that one product, but sometimes there's not a lot of other product, and sometimes (and it happened in the old days, too) there's one song that's very different from most of their material or just happens to be something you like

Wasn't until he started and I took his i-9 docs that I realized he was 19... Had to explain that the activities he did as a kid in summer camp, didn't count on his resume 🤦🏽♀️
Of course, being relatable means showing your authentic self. Whether you’re a person or a business, creating connections would be impossible if you’re walled up and hiding a part of your personality.
“To connect with others, we can’t hide large parts of ourselves,” clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen wrote in an article for CNBC. “We have to be willing to reveal, to some extent, what we think, do, and feel to give our conversation partner something to work with.”

AAAARRGG one time i literally started crying bc someone patted me on the back while i was sneezing and it made me so overstimulated.
So, how can you, as a person, become more relatable? Hendriksen advises creating a “conversational doorknob” that aims to create a conversation and break down barriers. And it could be as simple as sharing with a colleague how your weekend went or what interests you.
“Telling your conversation partner about yourself sharpens their picture of you with ever-finer pixelation, which makes you more relatable to them,” Hendriksen wrote.

People are the WORST. Especially dog owners and parents. I understand they failed to raise children and dogs properly bc they're a failure, but maybe keep that shame to yourself. I saw a woman come to school, leave a dog in front of it. Dog made so much f*****g noise, even more when woman returned with child. It was a cacophony. Exposing innocent people to this chaos is cruel and inhumane, and so is spoiling the dog. The woman made no attempt to quiet the dog. It's wild there such horrible people facing no criticism.

Brands and businesses can do a similar approach through storytelling. As Elsey explains, sharing behind-the-scenes sneak peeks of projects you’re working on is a way of pulling the curtain back, as if you’re letting your audience in on a secret. Then, there is listening and showing genuine interest in your customers.
“By actively listening, you can gain insights and offer thoughtful responses,” Elsey wrote.

I learned city driving in Chicago and quickly developed a game where I'd pick a couple of 'lane changers' and a couple of 'slow and steady' drivers and then do my own thing. Almost without fail, we all stayed in view all of the time. None really seemed to make a difference. I think it's a special case of 'it doesn't matter how fast you swim if the water you're swimming in is moving faster.'

Or someone pulls out 100(yds/meters) ahead of you on a 2 lane and does 45mph, but it's hilly terrain for the next 3 miles.
Bob Brooce 4 months ago
3 miles? Pshaw. I was driving back from a trip recently and as I got off the interstate a truck was doing such a bad job of turning off the ramp that somebody on the road the ramp exited to had to wait stop and wait for a few seconds, and I failed to read the warning signs. The truck pulled into a parking lot, and I stopped for a few minutes to stretch my legs and make a phone call. A couple of miles up the road I caught up to the truck and got to follow it through the hills of Vermont for (literally) 32 miles before passing it at a truck lane. My GPS said it cost me 20 minutes. 35 miles, and several roads, later I stopped for about 15 minutes, and again for another 15 minutes another 20 miles later. I got back on the road and 2 miles later I was behind the same truck. Luckily the road became two lanes only a couple of miles later.
