Have you ever thought about your conversation style and your intent?

When engaged in conversation with someone, do you really listen to what is being said to understand the other person, or do you listen with the intent of having a quick answer or just to tell your own story? There is such a difference in someone who is genuine and someone who simply wants to hear themselves talk.

I think it's about having an exchange and realising it's not about me and nor about them, but rather, it's about us, what we create as we converse in togetherness

@being Yes. I have to agree.

@LadyBronte I find it very balanced to look at it this way, there's none to blame, both sides are given responsibility, and it emphasizes in the union rather than separate individuals - which is the way we think most of the time anyway.

@being Unfortunately, not everyone finds that balance and do remain on separate planes.

@LadyBronte yes, right....
it's a practice and I fail many times but I'm moving towards that.

@being As long as we strive to be better tomorrow, than we are today, we're doing alright.❤
