holding space

It's a term used in recovery circles. It's just listening to someone share without daydreaming, interrupting, or offering advice. You know, actually paying attention. Not folding laundry.

The subject matter is likely of a serious nature which is why it wants to be heard in a serious manner. It's just symmetry between talking and listening.

I appreciate you holding space for me while I got that shit off my chest.

door holding bum

Also known as a DHB! The majority of these bums tend to hang around major transportation centers in NYC such as Port Authority and Grand Central. As the name implies, they are holding doors open and most importantly, waiting for your generous tip.

Where the hell is a damn door holding bum when you need one? Not only am I going to have to touch a dirty door handle, but I’m going to miss my subway!
