I was today years old when I realised I've been inadvertently sabotaging conversations for years.
I feel so attacked.

[tsurenae]

I INTERROGATE THE PERSON BECAUSE I LITERALLY DONT KNOW HOW TO CARRY A CONVERSATION

[starryeyedwish]

Her: Explains all the things not to say
Me: Literally what's left?!🤦

[sajpar]

Them: ughh it's so hot
Me: ugh I know right
Them: ugh yess
*conversation = ends*
*we = stop talking*
*Hotel = Trivago*

[ayoshi]

So...
“That’s rough buddy” was always the way to go?

[chuckles]

"I've read books"

- Cut to all the books being red. I see you Anna. I see that invisible joke.

Oh my gosh! When she was listing the 7 things like "don't give advice", "don't start philosophizing", "don't pity", etc. After number seven I was like: "Wait, what is else is there left?"

[howltae]

Introverts be like:

*"I need this, but I really don't need this, yet I need this"*

[al]

these 7 things are literally the only ways i respond and concerned

[ugh]

you're telling me that in reality 'damn thats crazyyyy' has always been the best way to go about this

[rokk]

Just say "it do be like that sometimes"

[garfielddddddd]

you can't forget the classic
"i- i don't know what to say...."
* complete silence for like 25 seconds*

[beberoro]

I wish you discussed this in more depth because all these things are really dependant on the context and the conversation

1. Denying people’s feelings
2. Philosophical response
3. Questions
4. Defense of the other person
5. Pity
6. Ameteur psychoanalysis
7. Giving advice

So.. empathy & acknowledge other persons feelings & let them feel heard

3:30 Noo... I would never want someone to respond to me like that. I don’t want them to worsen my perception of the situation by them giving their own pessimistic view on it. I would want them to give me encouragement, relate with me If possible, and give me a reason to see a silver lining

[namenotneeded]

I do some of these in order to KEEP the conversation GOING 😂😂
