And there are other relationships, too, that have more subtle, yet significant effects because of the feelings of loneliness and separation. When we are only occasionally allowed to go out and then expect them to keep their distance from us and not engage with others, it means that we lose important relationships daily. Some strengthen our senses. Belonging to the community
I remember a restaurant that my parents used to use regularly. Dominic ran the bar and whenever he saw my parents arrive he immediately. He would pour their drinks and wait for them. My parents loved this special treatment and the fact that they saw and remembered them. Her attention made her feel valued and important. That was an important part of the restaurant experience.
We are all in the same situation. Coffee or sandwich shops where they know our order, shops and service providers where they remember little details and treat us well. I remember how I smiled when my usual supermarket cashier surprised me at not having flowers in this week's shopping! Recognition and recognition strengthen our relationships with others, which makes us feel, valued and reduced to loneliness. It makes little difference that these people are not friends, and we hardly know their names. These relationships are part of a very different, but important category.
Then there are people we know well whether it's a friend, a friend of a friend, a parent from school, someone we see passing by at work, or recognizing from the gym. We usually stopped, said 'hello', asked how they were, inquired after the holiday. Still, those soft contacts are gone, and we're alone, rushing out to collect our weekly shopping or ordering tech tea coffee if indeed we're still leaving home to make these mistakes. ۔
What about field events, concerts and sporting big dates, networking exhibitions where hundreds or maybe thousands of people gather with shared collective enthusiasm, all welcoming their teams, singing the words and sharing their Dance to favorite songs, meet and discuss. Business contacts Once again, this joint contact unites us with strangers who have similar interests. We can smile at each other, dance together, share stories, and reminisce for a while. Connecting with others increases our souls. We've been part of this club for a while, and it feels good, which adds to the quality and satisfaction of the overall experience.
Through facial contact, children learn about relationships. Running to a group of children who are learning to play, share, take turns, lose, not being selected is always what children do to improve their ability to communicate, to adapt to body language, to discover what works. What happens and what doesn't work.
Yet today, many of our friendly communication opportunities have been suspended indefinitely, only to be replaced by a delivery driver who now calls regularly, a take-up Westerner who knows your name and your usual order. Yes, there is a pre-arranged Zoom meeting. Many of these transactions have now been carried out in practice, with orders left at the doorstep and little human contact.
Some new friends have been made during the lockdown. Many people have started exercising daily at similar times, perhaps going for a walk, run, or bike ride. Meeting the same people may mean that a slow smile and a few words of conversation develop slowly, but these exchanges are often done carefully from a distance. We may know very little about who we are meeting, but the feeling of walking or having common interests in nature creates a special relationship and ensures a friendly confession when we meet.
We may not yet realize that the diversity of relationships in life is important. Not everyone we interact with is very relevant in every area of our lives. There are a lot of golden, light contacts that are specific to certain interests and activities, but all of them still make you feel sunny and self-conscious. A smile, ahead, a few words here or there. Losing it is a big blow for all of us. Let's hope we see them a long time ago.
