Stephen has a sarcastic sense of humor and sometimes hurts other people’s feelings. He often makes impressions of teachers and classmates, which his friends think are hilarious and spot-on. One morning before the bell has rung, Stephen is immersed in a scathingly animated impression of his classmate Jon. When Jon enters the classroom, he notices the other students crowded in a circle around Stephen; they are rapt with attention. Jon realizes what is happening as one of the other students quickly motions to Stephen to stop doing his impression. Stephen turns to see Jon walking toward his desk in the back of the room. “Hey, I was only joking,” Stephen says dismissively. Jon, sulking, ignores him. How do you think both Stephen and Jon could have transformed their negative EQ responses to this situation into positive ones?
