as a chronic interrupter (i’m an east coast gemini theater kid jew ... it’s in my nature i’m SORRY) this advice actually blew my mind. because i’m usually waiting for the person to /make their point/ before i respond. but waiting for the last word? that’s new! that’s actionable! because sometimes someone makes their point, but then by the end of the sentence they totally pivot. and it’s good to let them figure that out. think of it less as patience (boring, hard), and more as leaving space for wildcard additions (fun, intriguing)

personally cannot stand people who interupt conversations to insert their thoughts the moment they come up, iv found the best conversations iv had with the most flow to them have been with people who intentionally wait for you to finish a cohesive thought to build on it themselves, often leaving you then with even more to build on.

It bums me out whenever someone's trying to say something but cuts themselves off or says "nevermind" because they assume that they're wasting time. Think it through, or let it come back to you. 3 years ago, I started saying, "Talk through the thought" with my friend, and I think it's made me more patient, and I've ended up hearing/saying some cool shit (or at least some funny shit) that I would've probably missed out on otherwise.

i stay up late a lot of the time for no reason other than to keep the doors of the day open to potential, but i’ve started taking melatonin gummies and magnesium (also preferably gunmies) at like 10pm and just putting myself to bed and it actually rocks. it does not make me feel like i wasted my night the way i feared it would and my future self is always happy i did it
if the m&m gummies don’t cut it i also recommend a weighted blanket and some background noise (i like podcasts about things that are only marginally interesting to me. last night i learned about the economics of bubble tea idk)

very scary but essential if we ever want to break free of the prison of dating apps….. can’t keep sitting on tinder while all the hotties pass you by….. step 2 is saying something to them but we r working our way up to that
