Is someone overexcitedly explaining things you already know? Consider this approach:
Swallow your ego, shut your goddamn mouth, and listen! Encourage them! There’s no point in shutting someone down because you’re bitter and self-conscious.
@jordyd I totally get the point this is making, but isn't this like, the default message women have already been getting their entire lives?
@vaguerant note that “overexcitedly” does not mean “condescendingly”
@vaguerant (but yes)
@vaguerant tbh when I made this post I was thinking mostly about men, which is admittedly misogynist, but I don’t think women tend to have this problem, as they generally have a lot of experience with swallowing their pride to make others happy (unfortunately)
