So long, and thanks for the fish

No 2x4s but STBXW and I had/have major communication issues, we can talk about the non-chalant all day but can't talk about the elephant in the room if it was related to us- I used to be able to just fine but never her and over time I learned her ways too.

Anyway, so I think it's much easier to text/email because we don't get the response/reaction right away. We're satisfied seeing only the words and not the emotions or the body language behind them. We get to take our time to craft our wording and the suspense of someone reading it and then responding it. However, all this is learned behavior (because it's convenient) that can be unlearned. We're becoming less social...as a society. With the Wiis, Nintendos, ipods etc the younger generation is losing the basic interaction skills...I see this in myself. I have the hardest time even coming up with cohesive, phrases and words when I'm trying to write something important.

I force myself to get out of my comfort zone to socialize and talk to people and sometimes I do well but sometimes there's that eery silence where everyone's quiet and we just look around and say 'yep', 'yeaap'.

OK I digress, so practice aver...practice makes perfect (and I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding applicants for the intimacy part )
