Thank you.

One conversation is typically not enough.

You need a lot of them, meaning

We put a lot of pressure on one single conversation and that increases the anxiety, increases the fear of the moment that I'm gonna say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing.

And you're putting a hype on a conversation that didn't need to have that kind of hype on it.

He goes, really, it should be the opposite.

It should be a, hey, I'm talking to you about this because you matter a lot to me.

And at the end of this, we're still going to be best friends.

And we're still going to go to dinner together tonight.

And we're still going to do X, Y, and Z. Because I love you, I need to tell you this.

This was on my heart.

That's rather than me trying to push everything at once.

Versus if I were to say,

let's say it's a big important thing that needs to take some time.

I'd like to have a conversation with you over the next few weeks.

I'd like to have a conversation over this month to talk about X, Y, and Z. Whenever you say that this is a conversation that's going to take some time, it...

automatically lowers everybody's anxiety rather than you having to decide, this is the moment right here.

Choose to be with me, not be with me.

Where are we doing?

What are we not doing?
