A habit I am trying to cultivate is that when people are impressed with something I've done and the felt sense of why I can do it and they can't is that this stuff just isn't hard and I don't understand why people struggle at it, I try to identify a specific ability involved.

Another way to cultivate question asking skills is to help your friends debug their emotions by asking them clarifying questions. I've done that a lot (which is totally not trauma grounded at all I just want everybody to be happy and love me for it perfectly normal instinct).

Totally-just-jokes-because-I'm-very-healthy-and-untraumatised aside, question asking is a really useful skill and it's kinda weird that nobody teaches you to do it.

Here's an exercise I like: Pick a random object in your environment and write a couple pages of observation about it. There's a follow up you can do: What more is there to learn about this object? e.g. it's history, what it is it made of, etc. Can you come up with 100 questions?

I'm not quite sure how to end this thread. Is there anything else you'd like to know?
