I live with my best friend of 10 years and we’ve gone through high school and college together. But I’m coming to a point where I’m realizing there is an imbalance in how we listen to each other.
Whenever we have an initial conversation, he will ask “how was your _____” or whatever and then I’ll provide a brief answer, but he’ll never follow up with questions or comments. It’s like he has absolutely no interest to really hear how it went. And then he’ll go into talking about his life.
I returned the same energy he has given me and didn’t bother asking any questions or anything and said “damn thats crazy”. Conversation ended very quickly. I’m realizing that I’ve carried most of our conversations about life and I’m just done.
What do I even make of this? Could I be overthinking?
