I have a hard time just letting a conversation flow naturally. I often ignore details that people mention to me that I should follow up on, because I’d already thought of a response before they’d finished speaking. I feel like I often leave conversations thinking “crap I should have asked them more about ____” or “why didn’t I pay more attention to what they were saying about ____”. I feel like I’m already thinking several steps ahead in the conversation. I also tend to get uncomfortable with pauses in conversation and I will try to fill them with meaningless conversation. How can I try to let conversations flow more naturally and authentically without being several steps ahead of where the conversation currently is?
