And i'm impatient in the other direction as well when he needs me to explain things in detail. (Really, when I say, 'eat the leftovers,' does he have to ask where they are? Um, in my dresser drawer. What do you think??) So, that's when I get most impatient--not listening but having to explain. And I do appreciate hearing others' confessions of imperfection!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774267389873705088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-37574021760230893482011-09-26T06:23:58.790-05:002011-09-26T06:23:58.790-05:00I LOVE hearing confessions from people especially ...I LOVE hearing confessions from people especially when people SEEM perfect on the outside.

A couple of friends of mine do it but one realizes it. The other doesn't always.It gets me confused. I don't believe writers should be confused. I prfer to hear the story straight.

LOL! I really don't do well visiting with the ill and elderly because I find it hard to listen with patience to a litany of woes, even though I sympathize with them. I realize those who focus on their own problems probably don't have a lot else going on in their lives, but I'm too quick to change the subject to something more "interesting" or comfortable. I rationalize that they'll enjoy the more uplifting visit, but in truth my reason is selfish. ::sigh:: So yes, I really DO need to work harder to overcome it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-12894624601737110412011-09-23T11:20:46.185-05:002011-09-23T11:20:46.185-05:00Slamdunk: It's not that my DH is slow in getti...Slamdunk: It's not that my DH is slow in getting his thoughts out; it's that I want a teaspoon of explanations--especially if I understood it on the first go-round--and he wants to give me a boatload. He has a teaching gift, and HAS to explain or explode.

I am like your husband, I think--detailed and analytical. I've learned to read that glossy eyed look but sometimes I'm mischevious and just keep on talking. :)<br /><br />I don't always see these traits as faults but rather as gifts in other areas. Somethings do need details but others need the 'get to it' approach which is tougher for me. I guess the sin would be just not accepting, and being judgemental of others who do things differently. That's one I need to constantly work on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-25962266545818115322011-09-23T09:38:45.283-05:002011-09-23T09:38:45.283-05:00Oh, I'm most like that on the phone.

I even make lists or notes and have even been know to totally tune out what the other person is saying.
