So I was wondering if you or any of your followers have heard of the organization or have any experiences?

Hi there, I’ve heard vaguely of WWOOF but I'm by no means familiar with how they operate. I've heard some good things, but also some warnings about exploitative farms and horrible conditions by doing a quick google search (see below)

Hopefully one of my lovely followers will be better equipped to help you!

Personally I am of the opinion that “over explaining” is often a misframed way of describing someone. I use the word in my url because people tell me I do it, and I’m embracing that even though they usually mean it negatively.

If people use the word in a negative way, then they probably don’t know what they want, and/or aren’t saying what they do want.

Do they want me to have a more well organized, clear and direct way of explaining something?

Do they want me to simplify my points to be easier to process quickly?

Do they want me to be more aware of the social context and save it for another time?

Are they impatient and want me to finish so they can make their points?

Or maybe, do they just want to silence me?

It’s valuable to be able to organize a point well in explaining it, so it can be received and understood well. It’s valuable to recognise where and when it is reasonable to explain a point, and in which contexts it should be saved for later, or forgone. I’m not the best at those, but I usually have a sense of when I’m being good at them, and with time, experience, and intention, I’ve gotten better on average.
