So true. Most people really don’t want to hear it. I say that without anger. It’s clear from their discomfort, from their attempt to brightside or change the subject. I think the easiest way to know someone wants to listen is when they hold still and ask “how are you?”
I love this assessment! It's interesting to me that we all have developed our own way to assess how much to share. We are aware of our stress when we share with another who doesn't get it. So, we figured out a way to make sure encounters and conversations don't add to our stress.
