I love it when a friend does it with me, and I think it shows that we're thinking about them and still processing what they said or that we care to check-in about the things we didn't get to discuss! It's a win-win! Thanks for sharing. I love hearing how differently we're all wired. (P.S. I love your writing down questions thing. So wise!)

As an introvert, it takes a lot of in-the-moment brain power to ANSWER the questions, & it also takes that brain power to ASK questions. And I'm not nearly as fast at processing through the information as my extroverted friends. I've done lots of follow-up questions to friends via text after in-person conversations, once my brain catches up. I've also written ideas for questions to ask on index cards before weekend retreats and such, hoping they'd be on the top of my mind & I wouldn't have to think about what questions to ask. So now that I sound like a weirdo... :) Thanks for your perspective here...definitely an area I want to grow in. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07441170807971655892noreply@blogger.com
