Hell yeah
In my college Sociology class, my professor ran us through a couple situations, then ran them back for us. Gender-wise, women tended to make small interjections, nod their heads, etc, as the conversation went among, to indicate that they were listening. Which apparently leads into two “classic” complaints between M/F partners.
Men tended to think that women were “always changing their minds”, because the men interpreted the women’s nods and interjections as agreement instead of “I’m listening to you”.
And women tended to think that men “weren’t listening to them” because men never provided this feedback.
Showing empathy is a valuable contribution.
Not only that, but acknowledging you heard the one speaking in a quick, unobstrusive, uninterrupting way.
Mood.

Ok, boomer
Oof acknowledges someone’s feelings, and bruh expresses empathy. These sentiments are important and often overlooked. You don’t have to always launch into your own story. Simply acknowledging and empathizing is a powerful way to build social bonds.
Also brevity is the soul of wit, so oof and bruh might qualify as the greatest things anyone has ever said in history.
In an in person conversation, that’s definitely true. Not so much online though.
Yes, not every talk is a conversation! Maybe I just want to vent and not to hear.
nice to see a reasonable take on this
Bruh
