GOING TO THE DOCTOR
Expectations: I’m Sorry You Have Going To Die Disease You Are. Going To Die
Reality: The Doctor Says I Don’t Know
our inherent worth doesn't come from us "contributing to society" or being some sort of productivity machine.
we're whole-ass multifaceted human beings with souls and feelings and opinions and hopes and dreams and love.
that's pretty magical. ✨
fresh out of a research sidequest time to continue my dissertation
A terrible habit i've picked up on is complementing advice.
I love advice, and when its good and relevant and in a format I can understand well, I genuinely appreciate and encourage it.
So in response, i'll be like, "that's a good one" or "ooh i wouldn't have thought of that", etc. and idk where the line when it starts to sound more condescending than grateful is???
It doesn't help that i have this tone of voice that i have been told multiple times sounds 'permanently sarcastic', which is a whole other can of worms...
I guess accepting advice this is just one of those skills i have to put conscious effort into improving whenever the opportunity arises, until one day it'll just become part of my good communication repertoire! Excited for that :)
