someone who listens and waits
personally cannot stand people who interupt conversations to insert their thoughts the moment they come up, iv found the best conversations iv had with the most flow to them have been with people who intentionally wait for you to finish a cohesive thought to build on it themselves, often leaving you then with even more to build on.

REAL! I think we as a people are losing the art of conversation and we don't put in enough effort into being mindful of how we speak, or more importantly how we listen. I also find that I have this lowkey disgusting desire to seem impressive in conversation when there is litchrally NO NEED !!!

not interrupting
there's no better way to show that you value your thoughts over everyone else's when you interrupt. also, waiting for your turn to talk does not mean you're actually listening... pause your internal dialogue and fully hear what the other person is saying.
it's tough because real listening is a skill. one definitely worth practicing.

listening for the last word of someone’s sentence
as a chronic interrupter (i’m an east coast gemini theater kid jew ... it’s in my nature i’m SORRY) this advice actually blew my mind. because i’m usually waiting for the person to /make their point/ before i respond. but waiting for the last word? that’s new! that’s actionable! because sometimes someone makes their point, but then by the end of the sentence they totally pivot. and it’s good to let them figure that out. think of it less as patience (boring, hard), and more as leaving space for wildcard additions (fun, intriguing)

Giving people space to speak/Think
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.
