This is quoted from Ethan Kross's book [Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It]. The author says that notice the exact words in Sandberg's post. She repeatedly used the 2nd-person "you" and "your" instead of "I." At first glance, this might seem odd. But, the author says that it is another type of linguistic hack that promotes psychological distance. If you're going through a hard time emotionally, try this method. This is one more emotionmanagement gadget that human language provides.
