@abefromanx: in order to be a good conversationalist you must be interested and interesting #LifeAdvice #relationships #selfgrowth #confidence #datingadvice
My biggest pet peeve is when I’m trying to relate to somebody by offering a similar story to paint the picture that I understand what they’re going through and then they take it as a form of selfishness or an annoyance.

Unfortunately I feel like yall dont know how to have conversations anymore because being able to relate or at least sympathize with what they are saying is part of having a conversation. Otherwise how long do y'all think a convo will actually last?

YES bc a lot of ppl aren’t actively listening, just waiting to share what they have to say!

I tend to do this to better relate to people but have started noticing how bad it is, so I’m trying to learn better conversation skills to combat it and balance out my conversations

Most people lack a genuine interest and curiosity about others. They want you to be the quiet, active listener who cheers them on.

As someone who does do this, because I crave connecting with people, I get so annoyed with myself.

I fear I won’t stop doing this… but I also think it’s a valid thing to get annoyed by. I would just suggest people who do get annoyed by it to not be my friend.

I can't tell if I'm making it about myself or just making statements from my viewpoint. But also I don't wanna like interrogate ppl 😭 I feel like if I also answer, then maybe they'll feel less pressured?

I do it because people don’t ask questions back and it feels like an interview otherwise. Maybe they don’t f*ck with me 🤷

i think the best way to deal with this is to stop attributing malicious intent to the most value-neutral of common communication differences.
