Rec'd on 💪 A COMPLIMENT THAT MEANS A LOT TO YOU?

I’ve never been the best conversationalist, which is why I’ve always gravitated towards people who can talk for days—it puts a lot less pressure on me to do the talking lol 😇 I pride myself in how much I care for what other people have to say about themselves, so it’s fulfilling to hear that I do a good job in showing it. I like knowing that even if I’m a more quiet conversation partner, I’m still a good one!

attentiveness

i love it when someone remembers something abt me that i scarcely remember about myself. as a pretty reticent person a lot of the time people talk at me and feel like theyre doing the quiet girl a favor by keeping her company, but i would rather be alone than be used as a sounding board. it just feels nice to be heard

SAYING “THAT’S INTERESTING” WHEN YOU’RE HAVING A CONVERSATION AND THE PERSON SAYS SOMETHING INTERESTING

in the depths of the pandemic i was roasting coffee in a warehouse in sand city, ca, basically in my airpods for 18 months straight, and i listened to thousands of hours of interviews. the best journalists, podcasters, writers, speakers, comedians, really eloquent folks of all types, all do this. check me on it. sarah koenig of npr / serial fame is the goat, but everyone does it. reminding yourself to do this is reminding yourself to be present, to actually be interested in being interested. and, it feels good when folks find you interesting, so these people that you are now coincidentally more interested in will also like you more.
