I enjoy spending time with people and having meaningful conversatoins. I like listening to others, and sharing with my own stories, especially when we can find common ground and connect on a deeper level. I find meaning in being someone who listens and responds with understanding. People often tell me they feel understood and comforted after talking with me. But sometimes, my direct way of speaking has unintentionally hurt others. So these days, I am trying to speak with more softness and warmth, especially when talking with my friends.

Hello, Ms. Judy! It’s clear you have a strong sense of empathy and genuinely value human connection. Your ability to listen deeply and make others feel understood is a powerful strength, not everyone has that.
