I was once not feeling emotionally well in my job. So I wanted to rant about it to my colleague.
I texted her: “I want to rant about it. Is it okay if we talk over the phone?”
I wanted to make sure she knew what I wanted to speak to her. And also wanted to seek her permission, because sometimes we are not able to take in what the other person has to say, even if we love them.
I am glad I had that insight even when I was struggling 🙂
