Wait Your Turn, Sis: There’s Plenty To Learn When We Interrupt People Less
You’ll get to know people better
If you feel like you have plenty of acquaintances and surface relationships but few deep and meaningful ones, it could be because you interrupt too much. One way to feel close to others is to know them and to know them is to listen. While being close also involves sharing your own stories, that’s only half of it. The other half (listening) is just as important. When you let people tell their full stories, you get to know them and then you can feel closer.
