What topics do you like to discuss?
It really didn’t matter what topic she wanted to discuss.No one ever listened to Gabby.
That was reality,every hour of every day was filled with people talking at her.Wanting her to understand what they were saying and how they felt about things.
To some, it was just a game,a game of dominance,a chance to prove how clever they were.To others(more bearable Gabby thought) were those who saw her as the opportunity to talk to someone about whatever was bugging them as normally no one would listen to them. Gabby was their window on their world.
Gabby knew it was a skill to listen but felt she had perhaps missed the boat and had forgotten how to talk.

Thank you for this great post.
I dare say everybody knows a “Gaby” of some sort. I know that I sometimes felt like it when people wouldn’t stop talking about their lives.
Unfortunately most people want to talk exclusively about themselves. We know it’s a quality to really listen to people. Sadly some take this as an invitation to rant for hours at an end.
