We have all seen those memes about how seeing people Info-dump is the hottest thing ever, but even in normal conversations listening to people talk is chore in of itself. I get bored quickly and look somewhere else or interrupt them with my own thoughts or try to predict what they are going to say.
It feels like i am more interest in myself and what i care about than what the other person has to say,who they are or what they care about.
And yes, i am aware how beyond self-centered that is and i do wish to work on that but i am also wondering if others have similar experience.
I notice that being alone for prolonged periods of time makes me kind of load up on thought and insights that I want to dump on people. So the first person I see after isolating myself for a while gets the waterfall. But once that’s out, I can listen. The challenge is findig people who actually are interested in my thoughts and wait their turn. Luckily they exist. Can anyone relate?
