I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too

Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It's pretty cool to see.

This is a quote I’ll try to remember, and will probably forget by the time I get into a conversation.

[–] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I'm listening...

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really? Why do you think that? Is it something you struggle with? Are there situations in your memory where you think it is especially applicable?

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s just something I need to get much better at. I’ve come pretty far from where I used to be, but being a good listener is something I still struggle with sometimes.

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see. What steps do you think you could take? How can you tell you struggle with it - have people mentioned it?

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, the only thing you can really do is identify the behavior and self-correct. As for whether or not people have mentioned it…yeah, they have in the past.

How do you plan to self correct? What have people said?

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You got me.

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And also, are you picking up on what irmoz and I are doing? Take notes!

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
