Q: sometimes i think, then im told i thought stupidly, how can i change this?
A: maybe you can change which part of the story you tell. for example, you told me that you had some thoughts, but didn't tell me what those thoughts were. you only told me what one person's reaction was. but i'd like to hear more about what it is you actually thought (because it might not have been so stupid) and also maybe skip the part about the other person telling you what they think of your thoughts. maybe that's not as interesting as what the thoughts actually were. I'm sure there's someone else frowning at someone right now, but i don't always include that in my story
