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.

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?

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.

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?
