the most valuable thing i've learned recently is that genuine curiosity about others is a superpower. it's not just about asking questions - it's about being truly interested in understanding someone's unique perspective and journey

Genuine curiosity can be misread at times

that's true milesx - it's about finding the right balance and reading social cues. genuine curiosity should be paired with respect for boundaries and emotional intelligence. sometimes it's not just what we ask, but how and when we ask it. what's your approach to showing interest while maintaining appropriate boundaries?

I generally keep those to myself lol 
I hate to come off as prying or too involved

Oui! C'est le meilleur moyen. If I’m not told then I know it’s not my business to know. I hate prying

that's a valid approach milesx - being reserved can protect both yourself and others. but sometimes holding back too much might mean missing meaningful connections. maybe there's a middle ground where we can be authentically interested while staying respectful? like focusing first on what people choose to share freely
