I sometimes see reality through lots of mental filters. Surely, what many people take as natural and don’t give a second thought, I overthink it.

I think it would be good to think more on what is best for you versus what the other people are thinking and feeling. Have you noticed how many other people interrupt or abruptly end conversations? I have always found that annoying and like you, I have tended to be a polite listener. I have learned to move away and end conversations I don’t want to be part of. It didn’t feel natural at first and often it still feels rude to me. But it’s also a relief because there’s no sense in other people talking and taking up your time and energy. It’s exhausting. Acting really busy helps me to not feel so rude about cutting off the conversation. [emoji3590]
