I’m not saying every conversation has to leave me more energized than before, but goddammit, give me something. Hell, I’ll settle for anything better than 50-50.
Are there any platitudes I could recite to myself to improve the quality of my conversations so we energize each other, or should I try improving my numbers by just walking away from the bad ones?
So far, the latter isn’t making me any happier. Just frees up more time to sit in gloom.

@rufus Jesus F. Christ, had a convo at the bar tonight that completely drained me. They carried 95% of the convo, I heard 45% over the noise, and understood 35% over the alcohol. All I could do was nod.C'mon, world, can I at least get 50-50? What am I doing wrong?
