I don't know if I agree with analysis of a conversation. I remember that was not such a good for me.
I like to be doing something at the same time. Maybe paintball or something as simple as a walk, it gives the other person a chance to get out of the conversation or for them to know that there is a certified end. I also find it takes away from the pressure of the conversation. Nice article, got me to rethink a few things.
I remember a few time inviting people into the close friend group a little too quickly a few times. Some solid advice here.
