- Well, people are so incomprehensible. They may be offended, they may misunderstand you, they may say something wrong. How do you get intimate in such circumstances?
- Counterquestion. How to learn to drive a car?
- What do you mean?
- Well, did you see what's going on on the roads? There are also thousands of cars, a bunch of reckless drivers, it is not clear who is going where, complete chaos, how to get behind the wheel in such conditions?
- Well, you need to learn the rules and follow them.
- And that's enough?
- No, you need to practice. In the center there is only one setting, another on the bypass, and a third outside the city.
- This is the answer to your question about relationships with people. You are confusing cause with effect. You think that you can, by observing, understand people, and then go live with them. In fact, it's like learning to drive from a textbook and driving to the city center. We learn to live with people only next to people. When you read a book about negotiations, you can consider yourself a master of words, but in practice you cannot prove anything to anyone. And when you start communicating in reality, there is nowhere to run, you have to try, adapt, speak and listen.
- And if I don’t feel like talking?
- Don't tell, it's your right. But then don't complain that it's difficult to build relationships. The rules are the same for everyone, you either play by them, or you don’t play at all.
