I'm extremely new to poly myself, but quite experienced in business and team dynamics. I see a surprisingly high number of analogs between both situations because we're more wired for one-on-one communication and empathy in a given moment. But this is also what makes us feel exhausted easily if...

I'm definitely feeling conflicted. On one end, I'm annoyed it has taken me so long to realize this. On the other, I'm astonished at how deep it goes within. If there were such a thing as NRE – but for yourself – that's the vibe I'm feeling right now.
