Guarding our time.

It's something that is uncomfortable.

I get it when you first start to do it, but it's the biggest sign of self-respect.

And the people that I have in my circle I know that I can call, I know they'll hear me out every time I call them.

And they know I would hear them out.

And I would listen.

And I would ask questions.

And I would try to figure things out.

And I would try to help them.

But again, that's come from years of knowing I can talk to them about anything.

Knowing that they can talk to me about anything.

It comes with time.

But if you're making new friends, man...

Be a good listener.

I promise you that will set you apart from most people.

Most people are terrible listeners and all they want to do is blab about themselves and their problems, which there's a time and place, but not every kind of meeting needs to revolve around you.

And you don't need to be a therapist toward everybody and all their problems.

Why would you do that?

Not worth it either.

In my opinion, that's just my opinion, frankly.
