Things go smoothly when you can both honour people’s stories as 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 stories, and keep an eye out for what they’re not saying. https://t.co/EK3g9XGkmT

People are like stories this way. People 𝘢𝘳𝘦 stories. There is the indescribably complex reality of them, then there is the myth of them, that they themselves and everyone else believes.

The same machinery I use to understand you, I use to understand myself.

All humans want is for vibing to feel easy. For me to be able to convey what I wanted to you and think, “Wow! That went so much easier than I expected.” That kind of vibing is possible when we are aware of this dual reality. https://t.co/bERs7LXMBW

People feel easy to talk to when they just take your words the way you want them to mean and not anyhow else.

Common pitfall: Thinking you completely know what they’re saying. Do listen to what they’re actually saying. https://t.co/Lu5HppvkQh

Misogynists do this a lot too—ignoring the specific words someone is saying, because they think they you what you mean. No, sometimes people really do mean what they are saying. AND there is still complexity to what they are actually feeling.
