People and Conversation

Do you know what I have realized during day 4 of lockdown? The importance of choosing the people you let into your life.

When I was single, I would always get advice about choosing a good conversationalist because lust doesn't last.

When you're old and gray, sex will be out of the picture. What's left for you and your partner? Conversation.


With friends, choose someone who can lift you up with their words. You need encouragers, especially during this crisis.

C O V I D-19 is affecting not only our physical health but our mental well-being, too.

Imagine dealing with the toxic situation externally and having to deal with the monsters in your head but not having someone to talk to about it.

Or having someone you can talk with, but it adds to the burden you carry.

I am thankful for technology. Because I get to talk to people online.

It's good to have people to share joy, grief, fear and concerns with.

When it comes to conversation, both parties should benefit.

How do you feel after talking to your partner? And how do you make your partner feel after conversing?

Even when you don't reach a solution when discussing an issue, it's good to unburden yourself by sharing and letting out what's bothering you.

Who is in your circle? Do you have people cheering you up or weighing you down? 

Now more than ever, you need people who will help you carry on.



You don't need additional negativity in your life right now. There are already a lot of problems, and the global crisis is no joke.

People are adding to the drama by being apologists of crook politicians and spreading fake news.

You don't need another toxic person surrounding you at this time. You'll have more than enough toxicity on social media and the news.

It would also be good to discuss a different topic that is totally unrelated to the virus and politics.

That does not mean turning a blind eye to what's happening right now. It means taking a break.

Giving yourself the chance to breathe from the current issue is good for you.

Try this fast talk I did. It's fun and a good way to get to know someone better.
