I have a bad habit of redirecting the conversation to myself. And I notice when I’m about to do it and stop but sometimes i just talk away. I suppose it’s fine when it adds to the previous topic point but I just hate doing it so often I really am a talker but I need to be more of a listener. This experience is yours and I need to listen and not barge in with my own.

No but I love listening to your stories related to the topic because then it eases my brain and that I’m not the only one experiencing stuff and that most things truly are universal which sometimes I forget so it grounds me

a trick I use is to let my curiousity take over. It makes me listen more intently and learn more about the other person.

Try talking to someone without “oh yeah, when something similar happened to me…” or “that reminds me of [me story]” Or “I totally understand because I…” - It’s hard, but worth trying

It bums me out whenever someone's trying to say something but cuts themselves off or says "nevermind" because they assume that they're wasting time. Think it through, or let it come back to you. 3 years ago, I started saying, "Talk through the thought" with my friend, and I think it's made me more patient, and I've ended up hearing/saying some cool shit (or at least some funny shit) that I would've probably missed out on otherwise.

Deleted tiktok and finished three books in a week. I should’ve deleted the app sooner. It’s actually so insane how ingrained tiktok scrolling has been in my daily routine. without the app I was just scrolling through the most random apps ever, then realized like damn this is a problem 😭 I miss it bad but I also don’t need it. Twitter is next 🙏 I need to fill my time with productive and fulfilling activities, no more mindless scrolling ‼️
