Yup I remember going through a phase where it was like “I don’t have time for this person’s jabber” and it would annoy me that they wouldn’t get to the point.

Meanwhile I could find all the time in the day to do meaningless things to take up my time like playing a game. Which is totally self serving.

Then I realized this was a me problem. Not a them problem.

I really hate who I was back then. Now some of my relatives do jabber on but it’s totally ok. I make space for that now cuz jabbering is part of relationships and that’s how some people communicate and listening is a part of healthy interaction.
