Well said. I get it. One can do all manner of things to fit in, but most important is to find the person(s) who you “fit with”. Those are rare for people like us. It must be Heaven on earth to find them.
Asking yourself these questions really is progress! On tiktok today I saw a tip for conversations: ask 2 questions and then tell 1 story. That way you learn how to be interested in the other person and the other person can relate to you through your storytelling.
On the other hand, “I must relearn to find my voice and ask questions without fear” will be my mantra for May. You discovering yourself is helping me realize that I need to discover myself as well. Thank you for your writing.
oh, i LOVE that tip. because it's so easy to follow and it kind of gives you a framework to break the ice. for me, it really helps because i'm always thinking about what to say or ask or do. thanks for sharing!
(and i'm really glad this helped you ♥️ thanks for your kind words!)
Absolutely, 100%, so much. Being interesting by being interested is a hill I will die on. Having people be genuinely curious and interested about what you do and what you think is such a disarming feature, and it also gives me a sense of open-mindedness and trustworthiness about someone else. Being interested in other people, in their lives, jobs, hobbies, interests, thoughts is a great way to expand your own horizons, I think, as well. Loved this article.
omg, yes! i'll be with you on that hill because running into someone who's interested in me makes me feel like I actually exist, right? it's such an incredible feeling, and doing the same to others just makes me really happy.
