Hi all. Just came across the concept of emotional bank account today, and that reminded me very strongly of Anandi and Gauri. So thought of sharing it here😊 Two balika vadhus, and their approach so strongly connects to this concept.
Emotional bank account is a metaphor for the amount of trust that exists in a relationship. Deposits build and repair trust in relationships. Withdrawals break down and lessen the trust in relationships.
| Deposits | Withdrawal |
| Seek first to understand | Assume you understand |
| Show kindness, courtesy, respect | Show unkindness, discourtesy, disrespect |
| Keep promises | Break promises |
| Be loyal to the absent | Be disloyal, badmouth |
| Set clear expectations | Create unclear expectations |
| Apologize | Be proud and arrogant |
| Give feedback (I messages) | Give no feedback or evaluate character (you messages) |
| Forgive | Hold grudges |
Both Anandi and Gauri were betrayed and what differentiated them the most was their approach to their situation.
For a moment, I thot that Sa too comes in withdrawal category. But she doesnt even deserve that much. She has no reason to be so ungrateful or any logic behind her actions.
Mayb CVs are trying to show, the extreme case of how many wrongs can be in a person with Saanchi - coz she is not even grey anymore, just black, IMO
