Rabbi Bonder tells of a Hasid who complains to his rebbe that wherever he goes, people step on his toes. "The rebbe says, 'You don't give people room, so they have nowhere to step but on your toes.' We can do the same thing in social situations, where we hog the limelight, refusing to give others some space."
