Can people actually learn to be curious?
It seems rare m, particularly in my circle. I seem to be the only curious one, they just plod along.
It’s a choice. It’s best instilled with kids. As an adult, not so easy. I guess it would be best to lead by example. If others see how it helps you, they may try to emulate. It becomes a habit. It gets easier the more you do it.
