I used to wonder why talking to a therapist would help. I never understood it until now..
As we get older everyone just listens less and less. It catches up to you. All the lack of communication and being unheard. Does anybody actively listen anymore? I am deeply rooted to listen and understand others. But for me, it builds up, I am always dealing with everything on my own. There are very few I can open up with and the ones I do suck at listening. But I guess the ones that dont listen always keep secrets, because they never heard 😂 The worst is distracted listening...when you clearly need to talk to someone and they cant fully listen to you. Weather its not being able to put their phone down, cutting you off to ask an unrelated question about a fireplace (lol) or saying what was that??? It makes me just bottle things more. I wonder what it's like to actually have someone who cares enough to listen. I am always repeating myself like a broken record, but then I'm the bitch for not wanting to repeat myaelf for the 3rd time lmaooo 🥴
