Like really listening. Not waiting for your turn to talk. Not just nodding along. Being an active participant in conversation.
This shouldn’t be hard to do for people you actually love and care for.
A seemingly elusive skill for many… for those who wish to seek it, it lies just beyond the horizon of simply waiting for another person to stop talking until it’s your turn to speak…
i will literally always stop someone who is hogging a conversation when someone has been trying to say something—what you have to say is important and I care 😤
This is a rec and also a reminder for me because I‘ve been sitting here thinking about emoji versus emoticon use in an Instagram dm and what it all means.
