"we don’t think to ask the people we think we already know what question they’re trying to answer most in their life right now or what’s a dream they’ve let go of. But asking these deeper questions gives them the chance to surprise us." ugggh great reminder!!
This is an important realisation for introverts! I have declined meeting friends/acquaintances whose company drains me. It’s not selfish to be more discerning about how/with whom you spend your energy and time.
"I’m O.K. being a little selfish in conversations. You need to be selfish. It’s like a tug-of-war. If you’re not pulling in your direction, then you’ll never reach that middle ground of mutual interest and connection."
