Do you hear what I hear? Self awareness is key to avoiding energy drains.

And before you know it, rather than having a two way conversation that's all about and so this happened. Has that ever happened to you? Oh, yes, that's happened to me before. Let me tell you about this time with permission to exchange, it becomes like this swell cast a onesighted cacophony of crap. And you're just like, what in the heck happened? Because now inside I'm experiencing these emotions of bereft like someone just came and pickpocketed my freaking joy

What do you hear when you are listening? We learn to speak but rarely are we taught to listen. It gets passed through the filter of our mind, then...

And also I was thinking about consent of, like, when you're having a conversation with somebody and you're going to share something that could bring up different feelings, emotions, possibly triggers, then you should ask the person, like, hey, do you have the capacity to hear something? Like, I really need to talk about this with somebody that has helped me a lot in my relationships. It's just being like, hey, do you have space for this?

I absolutely agree with you. I think we've lost the art of connection and truly communicating. So often I've heard the best analogy is playing catch with one another. So I'm going to throw the ball to you, and then you're going to catch it and throw it back. You're not going to catch the ball. I throw and take the ball and go home or refuse to throw it back and just sort of be there. Nobody wants that
