Listener for me

Listener. I go bright red once I become aware of the fact that I am speaking and someone is looking at me!

I learned a long time ago that me opening my mouth to talk about myself was actually boring ( certainly for me ) so I started to actually really listen to others and found their stories very interesting, much more than mine .

I am often around people who love to over speak on others' words , change the subject to talk about them self's, those who can't stand silences, and those disinterested in hearing others speak . I like listening it's interesting. After all , we know our own stories over and over again

Listener, I have a bad stutter and autism so i don’t really like to talk, most of the time it’s a pain in the arse, but I once had a boss basically negotiate himself for giving me a pay rise, I think he was scared by the silence (we were on the phone and I was trying to summon up the words) and he just started manically filling in the silence by I suppose you want x or y type thing and went higher than I would have 😂
