Thing I like about myself #3 

Uhh I forgot to do these. sorry.
I couldn’t think of anything.
I remembered something just now though: when I’m at my best, I listen closely. Probably TOO closely, sometimes finding subtext where there is none. I do it out of the sense that I have a shortcoming, kind of like a person who develops fast reflexes to cope with having poor spatial awareness. The effect is that people like me. They feel understood. They can tell I’m trying and I often succeed.

Thing I like about myself #3 (plural stuff mention) 

I “succeed” so often that I (Pel) develop soft spots for people against my (Avery’s) better judgement sometimes. You’d think this would have burned me more often than it helped me... that might actually be true but I still feel like the net understanding of the human condition I’ve gained has made it worth it.

@pexl I know precisely how that can be. Also, hey, I didn't know you were plural!
