The Basic Building Blocks of Strong Relationships

It's easier or easy to connect with people that are like us. But, i guess why is that more challenging? Because they have different backgrounds, different points of view. Ah, what we don't realize is that when we are with somebody that sees the world the same way we do, we might more easily and more quickly trust them. And by the way, it's a mistake, even sometimes, to think that just because we have these four things in common, we see the world the Same Way.

It's, ah, what we don't realize is that when we are with somebody that sees the world the same way we do, we immediately know we have something in common, we might more easily and more quickly trust them. Ah, these are some of the basic fundamental building blocks of relationships, a commonality and trust and and when, whenwhen we encounter somebody that is different than us, then, depending on how different and around what those things aren't automatic. And by the way, it's a mistake, even sometimes, to think that just because we have these four things in common, we see the world the same way, about these other two things. Ah, but you know, at the heart of learning how a tis going to get a little bit into the moving along the continuum. At the heart of that is, er are two elements of strong relationships. The first is disclosure, your willing to be more known. And the second is inquiry and curiosity.
