    In American culture it’s all too common that personal time and vacation is undervalued or discouraged. For this reason when someone else is taking time off, or discussing taking time away from work for personal reasons I am very supportive. When someone returns this to me, I feel very respected and it usually makes me have a wonderful day.

    Scratch my head. Whenever I’m in a bad mood my wife will give me a hug and run her fingers through my hair. It instantly relaxes and calms my nerves.

    Being laid back and jokey. If I feel like I can joke around with you and not take life too seriously with you, my stress (as an introvert) has really melted quite a bit.
