My sister told me my 'awkward date' story from the Phoenix art walk was actually about me being a bad listener

She pointed out that I kept interrupting my date's story about her pottery class to talk about a similar exhibit I saw, which made me realize I turn conversations into competitions without meaning to... anyone else have a habit they didn't notice was ruining the vibe?

Wow, your sister really went for it huh? I get the self awareness thing but maybe you were just excited and the stories were linked. Does one awkward moment really mean you're a "bad listener" forever? Seems like a pretty harsh label for what was probably just an overeager chat. What did your date say about it after?

Bad listener forever" is exactly what my wife calls me.

So you basically turned her pottery story into a game of conversational one-upmanship? Lol, I've been there, but maybe next time just let her have the clay win.
