BASING WHAT YOU SAY OFF OF THE PREVIOUS STATEMENT
I‘ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I don’t know if this is just different speaking styles but I find it awkward when people don’t acknowledge what you say. like you say something and their response is on topic but kind of disconnected to what you said. it’s like they just want to say what they want to say and gloss over your statement as opposed to forming a response based off of what you just said. it makes me feel like they’re not actually listening to what I’m saying and it makes me feel awkward.

I’m a culprit of this sometimes!! I try to check myself and go back to what they said in my response a lot of the time as it’s a trait I do not appreciate

Talking
I hold a grudge against this one because it was maybe twice that I affirmed that I was talking to someone and they meant "talking". This became a thing all of a sudden when I was in college and I got the memo very late. Hate it hate it hate it, it feels so glib and detached and too cool.

Using “you know?” As a sort of period to the end of my word salads
I have no idea when I started doing this, but it helps me keep track of my yapping. I’m not a big talker but once I get going I can’t stop. I feel like I’m just throwing out things and I always feel like I’m confusing people, so I throw out a little “you know?” Just to check in to see if you’re still with me. In my head it feels like I’m being courteous.

I watched a free screening of Mickey 17 and wow it was amazing, Bong Joon-Ho has slayed again. It was funny, it was dramatic, the casting was perfect. I will be thinking of this movie for a while and I will def watch it again.

taking a sociology class
I am a woman in STEM but I decided to take a class called sociology of gender and I really like that it makes me think more critically about both my experiences and the world outside of myself. also lowkey giving me more confidence because, you’re right, it’s not my fault‼
