“Don’t Rush Through It”: 17 Social “Cheat Codes” That Made People’s Daily Interactions 1000x Better

“When a person describes an experience they had, most people jump in with stories of their own experience. Instead, ask them about their experience instead of talking about yours.”

“I noticed that I used to do this often, so I now make an active, conscious effort to ask them about their experience before I relate a story of my own.

My mum does it all the time (guess I know where I got it from), and it’s extremely frustrating, to the point now where if I notice her doing it, I just carry on talking about my own experience. For example, if I’m selling my car and looking at buying a larger one with more cargo space, she tells me how she’d never sell her car, followed by how she doesn’t like big cars with cargo space.

I did speak to my therapist about it, and I have methods of dealing with it now, but it’s still frustrating.”
