Well, if we were at the same church, we could introduce ourselves to each other over and over, none the wiser. haha. Thanks for sharing this, Barbie.

I am the one at church who introduces myself to the same person over and over again. I like the thought of turning a comment into a question. I might practice this more often.

I’m guessing you could really appreciate the movie, Anita. It’s not exactly realistic, but it at least attempts to address mental illness in a human way.

Thank you for taking away my excuses to not ask…it’s an area I need to work on.

I agree with your dad, Bev. Plus, we come across more wise when we ask more questions than give answers. πŸ™‚ Most everyone loves to talk about themselves when given an opening, so it is a gift when we can provide that opening. Thanks for sharing this!

Your post makes me think of my dad who used to tell me that if you ask questions, people will think you are a brilliant conversationalist. How true? So many people want to just talk about themselves, but like you pointed out, each person is unique and how loved we feel when someone takes the time to ask us a question about ourselves. Great post!
Blessings,
Bev

Thanks, Amy. Yes, there are certain situations when I feel I’m the only one doing the asking, so when someone else asks about my life, it’s very refreshing. That’s how I felt with Mrs. B. She was genuinely kind to make it a two-way conversation.

How cool that your daughter and her friends played this game. I need to formally try it with someone just to see how it feels! πŸ™‚

I agree that it can be exhausting to stretch ourselves in this way, Jean! I totally relate to that, being a fellow introvert. πŸ™‚ I can do it for awhile, then need to back off and recharge.
