I figured it would be nice to have some self love over the holidays and this is a pretty direct approach.
I can start:
I like my curiosity. I like wondering what would happen if I did things differently and so I’m open to new approaches and experiences. What about you?
yep you become designated “a good listener”.
do you also make a point to always reference things they tell you, trying to continuously integrate their thoughts and feelings in the convo? feels like sometimes i am accidentally doing therapy sessions.
you do have to be mindful not to make yourself TOO emotionally available to people and to set appropriate boundaries.
did this when younger and learned my lesson.
