The lost art of listening: birming.com

@birming A great post. I feel the same way with a bunch of people. You can see when someone is listening to you and reacting, vs. what I call those who “wait to speak”. The latter seem polite, better than just talking over you, but there is no conversations, just public soliloquies.

@rscottjones 😂 In Sweden, we have a saying that goes “Good day, axe shaft!” — maybe I’ll right something about it 😊

@newdawn Thank you! “Wait to speak” is a great way to put it.

@birming Hey, we have that same saying in Finland as well. 😂 Most likely borrowed from Swedish of course, but anyway, it’s a weird one indeed!

@ZeroOne Oh, I didn’t know. Cool! Maybe it’s a Scandinavian thing 😅
