I can’t remember ever being told I’m a bad listener.
I can. Part of my naive youth was believing some weird shit and my enthusiasm had no bounds. I showed my ass so many times blabbing about stuff that no one knew anything about or worse a bit of every kind of ignorance about racial issues and homophobia. I’ve been a misogynist and an entitled asshole.
It’s my story and it all about me it seems.
Unfortunately it won’t turn out well, but I at least achieved a level of awareness that makes me a better person from all those awkward moments.
I think the worst is when you’re convinced you’re doing the right thing and you hurt everyone you know.
Thank goodness that’s over thirty years ago.
Seek humility or be humiliated.
Good for you!
I tend to jump in when someone is speaking. It's rude. Trying to stop.
