For the last 3 days I have been extremely weak. It doesn't feel like an illness, there is something wrong. I feel really, really unwell. Even speaking requires an effort, and my voice is very weak.
So I recently started a course in order to switch careers.
The classes are absolutely fascinating.
I'm the only conservative (and a bit of an anarchist!) person in my class, there are only younger (I'm 37) lefty chicks, which is ok I'm open-minded.
Plus I met a girl there... We're dating, at the flirting stage right now.
Exhausted at the end of the day. Now it's the weekend, rest.
“Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental and behavioral disorder in which an individual has intrusive thoughts and/or feels the need to perform certain routines repeatedly to the extent where it induces distress or impairs general function” (Wikipedia).
Very often people discuss without discussing. A person speaks and the other person hears but does not listen because he already has in mind what he is going to say and he is in a hurry to say it.
We all tend to do this, to different degrees. When I realize I'm doing it, I immediately pay more attention to what my interlocutor is saying. Sometimes I pause before answering to let the other person really finish what they have to say.
Had a good convo with a friend that made me realize I usually digest information (be it books or articles) without pondering it. You don't learn critical thinking at school, but it's never too late.
