I feel that I have been making progress in dealing with people lately.
Often times I find that I tend to give my point of view, or give advice, as
apposed to listening to what others have to say. I think that this has been
a huge difficulty of mine in dealing with people, one which I'd like to work
on more (especially if I continue my indevour to become a psychologist some
day); I find that, when I stop and listen to what others have to say, I gain
a lot more than if I were to just say what I think. I find that often times
people will come to me with a problem, and I will automatically try to say
what they're thinking; often times when I stop and listen, they will say
everything that I'm thinking, but then will go on to add their own insite
which teaches me (as hopefully they're learning as well). I wonder if
anyone else has thoughts on this; even in this message, I feel that I'm
somehow making it hard for people to respond with anything (I feel like this
is pointless but, rather than just erase the message and forget about it,
part of my growth is stepping outside my comfort zone and just "doing it" if
that makes sense). Congradulations on the public speaking; I often have a
hard time with this sourt of thing myself. I can imagine that, while it may
have been difficult to get through at the time, it feels good to know that
you can do it (and perhaps that you had the abilitty all along). In fact
your story inspired me to write in today, and although I feel like most of
this might not make sense or strike a chord with anyone I'm proud that I can
overcome these nagging thoughts and do it anyway. Keep up the good work!
