i haven't written down any resolutions yet but if i did have a resolution, let's say that it would be to be a better conversationalist. i really like talking to people but sometimes i find that i either dominate the conversation or take it in a different direction. i interrupt or interject a little too often and talk about myself more than i'd like. and more than other people like i'm sure.
i mean no one really wants to know the exact layout of my first office job or the recurring dream i have about the boat capsizing. they don't care ab0ut finnie's bowel movements or his sleep schedule unless they directly ask and if someone is talking about a point of interest i would like to train myself to just shut up and visualize instead of thinking about what to say next. talking with people involves listening, empathy, sympathy, language development, learning, wit and just a little dab of sugar.
so i'd like to be better at that. how about you?
