And you're really good at it! I just feel... I dunno. Weird about it. [She pauses to consider how to put this and not seem judge-y, because it's not like this is a horrible thing.] I guess I'm just used to some give-and-take when it comes to conversations. Like, I feel as though I'm just blathering about myself and, well -- like I'm in therapy, I guess, rather than talking to an equal? Which makes sense given your counsel-y tendencies, and all.
I'm not trying to say you're doing anything wrong! It's just really different for me. [A smile, because this isn't trying to be an argument or something. She's just trying to navigate how to talk to someone who doesn't really do much but reflect and gently prod during a conversation.]
