| + | I think my thought process is more interesting than I give myself credit for. |
| + | |
| + | It's the same for many other people, too. You just think, it comes naturally for you, and it seems like everyone thinks like that. But it's not true. |
| + | |
| + | I don't ask people enough questions. Sometimes I remember that, ask something, and get blown away at how rich their thoughts are. The same happens in reverse, too. |
| + | |
| + | The point is that I should write more. I should get my thoughts out there. Another consequence of writing is that I notice how shallow and unformed my ideas are, and writing helps me form them. Everyone says that, but it's still true. Even this one here. The original idea seemed like a fractally beautiful thing. I remember that people sometimes tell me how interesting I am (they flatter me), and it makes me think maybe they would like it if I said more. Not about myself, just in general about stuff. Then I remembered how very recently I had that experience. I was talking to someone, mostly answering questions. Telling about my Japan plans, my projects, and I noticed I was talking too much, so I asked a question out of politeness. "Hey, what about you?", not expecting much, just keeping up with the conversation. But the answer was so good! Not in the sense that it was profound, just that it felt like I suddenly knew the person I was talking to much better. I was so glad I asked something, but I never get this feeling *before* asking a question. |
