Such a great point Rik! You always hear the phrase “it’s not about you” but I rarely see clear actionable advice on how to actually get better. Thanks for putting this out into the world!
Even one extra second of silence can make a difference. This is great, Rik. I do remember that the times I was more connected with somebody was when that person wasn't cutting me off or responding right away after I talked. They were listening and waiting for me to give all that I wanted to give at the moment. I'd like to be able to do the same for others.
...like this so so so much...also what if we had funerals while we were alive...like once every few years...would be so much more fun to be eulogized while alive than while dirt...
“Have a great funeral” 😂. So good. Thanks for the tips Rik. I’m 100% guilty of filling the void. Let’s see if I can up my silence tolerance.
