What Was That?
There is so much you can learn from listening. Just listening, really good, listening between the lines. By looking back at how badly I’ve listened in the past, I see all the holes I coul’ve filled by being a better friend and all the stupid little things I said that I could have avoided saying because I know those stupid little things I said either did nothing to help or only made things worse.
I really have to stop breathing down people’s backs. And I have to listen better.
For all my quietness, I’m still not as good of a listener as I once thought I was. Stupid overzealous pride.
Overzealous! I’m so over-proud of myself that I use words like overzealous even in the most modest of situations!
Maybe that’s the root of the problem, then: my pride gets in the way of my listening.
