I Need to Stop Asking Questions with Options Included

I talk about a habit I’ve noticed in myself: when I ask questions, I often tack on two options, as if I’m narrowing what someone can say (like “today or tomorrow” or “fun or a letdown”), and I recognize it’s a bit like telling someone what they’re feeling. I reflect on other conversational patterns I notice: people who don’t wait for answers, never ask questions, or say they’re wrapping up and then keep talking, partly because editing podcasts makes me hyperaware of these things.
