The guy is an idiot.

He doesn’t seem to know how precious it is to have a loved one speak, to have a loved one share. That sharing is what makes intimacy, is what informs.

People who love you want to know.

I could listen to my loved ones all day. 😻

That said, I come from a background where no one was interested in me so I don’t know how to do it, I had to teach myself ( so I am very imperfect)

So maybe he doesn’t know how.
