Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I notice I keep steering conversations back to what I find interesting or want to say, and the other person kind of deflates
- People seem to give me the careful, safe version of things and hold back what’s really going on, and I think they’re bracing for me to judge
- When someone’s talking to me I want them to feel like I’m actually catching what they’re saying, but everything I try comes out as another question and it starts to feel like an interrogation.
- Someone I care about is talking through a tangled mess and I want to help them actually hear themselves
- Someone comes to me upset and I’m already firing off solutions before they’ve finished, and it lands wrong because they just wanted to be heard
