Description

Emotional attunement is a series of processes designed to retune someone else’s mood as if it were a tuning fork, all in service of one’s own objectives. Often performed without the other party’s awareness, it smooths emotional waveforms independent of genuine empathy. It can be seen as a sinister form of social engineering hiding beneath the guise of compassion. Ultimately, it is nothing more than the act of justifying one’s own heart by calibrating another’s.
