I too learn by listening and asking questions. I have learned a lot from people here. There was a member here who was a former Congressional aide who served under Republicans and personally knows many of the people involved in the Russia investigation. It was fascinating to learn about his former college mates who are so involved in this administration.

Had a friend like that.. afraid to live life ..while overly concerned with what others thought. Turned out, he resented those capable of showing or acting on the emotions he couldn’t. Took him around a dozen years of college before going totally sour; now he’s so far gone I can’t find him if I try.

Don’t be afraid to trust yourself, as others may only disappoint…

Humans are apparently better at aping one another than the apes. That’s how we learn.
One important thing though, it all depends on what people we’re with and who we’ aping!

I agree. I learn a lot by listening and watching.

I'm the same - I examine myself too - and other people are a source of constant interest.
