2. Listening Is For Fools
There was this girl that started working at the store I worked at and one night we were scheduled to work together in the same area. People who work in an area together usually talk while performing the menial tasks so I figured I would get to know her.
She explained she was a former model and she seemed super prissy. Not to insult her character but it explains why she said what she did. Imagine a typical conversation where you’re trading stories and comparing but every time I would talk she would say, verbatim:
“Yeahhhhh, but I don’t really care about that” and “I don’t really want to hear about that” with no proposed alternatives to conversation or anything. It screamed, “I’ll talk, you’ll listen, and nothing else”
