This is a YouTube video titled "How Writing Shapes You as a Person #shorts" containing a reflective monologue or talk from May 7, 2024, discussing how the practice of writing and ghostwriting has enhanced the speaker's ability to listen deeply and understand people beyond their words.
How is creating and writing shaped your view on life as a whole? You have to train yourself to be a very close listener. And what I mean by that is, when you listen to someone, you're not just listening to what they're saying, you're also listening to where it's coming from in them. So why are they saying that? Why are they saying that way? Do they feel confident about what they're saying? Do they feel a little insecure about what they're saying? Do they associate something that they're saying with their core identity? And so doing so much ghostwriting really taught me how to listen closely to people and not just hear the words that are coming out of their mouth, but also to understand them as a person.
