Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I rush to the good news and the solution because I want to seem positive, and then I notice nobody’s really listening
• The second someone tells me good news I jump straight to the risks and the “but have you thought about”
• When the people I love share good news, I half-listen and give a flat "that’s nice" before moving on
• Nothing’s wrong between us, but it feels a little flat, and I notice I only really put effort in when there’s a problem
• Someone I love opens up about something hard and I’m already three solutions deep before they finish
