Nobody understands the bond between a girl and the mediocre book she read when she was 13 years old.
Apparently my younger sibling got a 50% on math homework that I helped them with absolutely devastated im at uni for engineering
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 :)
the first thing i did when I came into this earth as a baby was inhale liquid and I think that’s set a precedent for how the rest of my life is going.
(she/her) Generic loves writing but does an engineering degree gal.
