I sometimes end up, what started as small talk, in these long talks with strangers opening up to me. Most people need to vent so I ask follow up questions, but after trauma dumping on me, which I’m super interested in, they get to a part of a story I’m bored with and I feel bad telling them: Ty for opening up completely to me, a random stranger, but you’re boring me now so…bye.
Actually having to listen to a real person who can tell when you aren’t paying attention is so much more taxing than pretending to absorb information from a screen.
Because they’re too often and consistently wrong? 🥲
