@Tease404@northstardoll Yeah, could be that. Showing they understand what you're going through could be incredibly validating. But more often than not, people end up hogging the conversation and they don't even realize it. I just think we should listen more than we talk. It feels nice to be heard.
@Nattypiexo @northstardoll It's not about your intentions. It's about how it comes across to the other person. Change your ways if you're often misconstrued as always talking about yourself. There are better ways of empathizing without taking the "spotlight" of the conversation off your friend.
