Hello Friends,
Most of us know about and rely upon the wonders of instant communication using modern technology, but do we understand its limitations?
Email and texts omit the subtleties of language and our reading of body language, leaving so much room for misunderstanding, assumptions, and ambiguous conclusions. Turn to video calls and messaging for some improvement, yet there is still room for errors in the communication. Nothing replaces one-on-one contact, and even that has flaws. How do we achieve better relationships that may have started with the above? Time.
Time allows for better mutual understanding and corrections of misunderstandings. The moment of resolution is as emotionally exhilarating as the moment we feel we are falling in love. Touch can not be achieved over the wire, internet, or phone, and touching is so essential in learning how to navigate a relationship.
Ways to avoid a close relationship: Don't Think Twice (original Version)
- Don't make actual person-to-person contact
- Avoid a dedicated pattern of meeting someone
- Engage in a series of superficial, brief relationships
- Reject a companion that appears to want to get closer to you
- Never commit to anything between you and another person
- Become hard to find online (ghosting) or ignore the person
- Deliberately offend someone you wish to distance yourself from.
All this behavior will keep you from getting too involved with another person, and it is OK if that is your goal. If it is not, consider these if you are inadvertently applying them to potential relationships and decide which way you want to go.
Subltey in love is lovely:
