Yeah, and I hear you, dude. But I don't think you're hearing me. All I'm saying is it takes a little time. It's not so black and white as you might feel like it is, you know?
If you want my two cents — and I get it if you don't — if you're getting frustrated with sharing your own shit, maybe take a breath, take a step back, ask about the other person, instead. I know we Graysons love a spotlight, but it can be a lot of pressure when you feel like you're under it all the time.
[ The other guy's getting defensive, so Dick takes a sip of coffee, shifts gears. Deliberately relaxes his shoulders and wrists and expression into something mild and curious. ]
Yeah? That's great, man. Who're you getting to know? What are they like?
