"A friendship made through amicable conversations may last forever if it is carefully nurtured"
I've also experienced it many times, being distracted by the vibration of notification in the middle of the conversation but somehow I've realized that this kind of act is a very disrespectful one to the person I conversed with that's why I've been trying to keep myself from holding a phone from time to time.
I've learned in a certain subject in class that I had during my previous year in college, that to have effective communication both the speaker and the receiver should be attentive to listen and engage with each other even if there could be a lot of disrupting barriers. I must say that I've gained a lot in that class and I've learned to give more value to the conversations that I have with other people, especially to my classmates since they're the ones that I must have to face four times a week.
I think that for us to enhance the quality of our interactions with others, we must learn to foster connection, understanding, and mutual respect with one another. It goes beyond mere exchange of information for it can hardly be called a conversation in such it should involve genuine participation, where both parties feel heard, valued, and understood.
Based on experience, I've learned that one of the key elements of holding out a conversation is the fact that I should be willing to listen genuinely and have this undying curiosity within the one that I'm talking with, I often use this method whenever I try to listen to my mother's rants and her dailychika about life, whenever I try to give her engaging questions she'd be more willing to answer and that's how our conversation would go on, in that way, I'd be able to hear more and relate to her stories.
At school, I've also fostered a good relationship with those of my classmates. I had this one friend that I'd only met in college and during our first year in college we were not that close with each other but through an endless conversation on the bus on our way home, we learned to discover each other preferences about people and we even got to talk about a lot of different matters. Consecutively, we would first talk about our daily hurdles in school and our frustrations, later on, it would be followed by a conversation about our family and our childhood memories, she was a very vibrant person and I've always appreciated how she would carry on our conversation, if I must say, I'm more of a listener than a speaker whenever I'm with her. I mean she had a lot of interesting stories and I could find only myself giggling and laughing throughout our conversation. There was no dull moment when I was with and we also had our fair share of embarrassing moments together whenever we went through a walk.
I've already considered her as someone whom I cherish a lot and I always look forward to the times that we're gonna spend together in the future, I was interested in her mainly because she looks so intimidating and she's quite hard to be close with but then as I've got to know her, my first impression had already vanished and all I could say now was that she's nice person with a lot of vulnerabilities that makes me respect her even more.
Thank you 🥰

Nurturing friendship is good. We could always stay lovingly connected to each other
Yes, you're right. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about my blog🥰
Some people apparently look so unwelcoming but when we interact with them, we figure out how interesting they are. Our conversations unfold our personality.
It's a sad reality of today's world that we are highly distracted by our devices. We are more concerned about the virtual messages but pay no attention to what is in the real world.
We need to work on our habits to drive stronger relationships.

listening and response genuinely is one of the important factor in starting a conversation 😊
Yes ate, that's why whenever someone's trying to talk to me, I'd do try to listen well so that we'll be able to understand each other
Name dropppppp hahahaha, for sure si Dianne ni ba🤗
eh mahiya ako 👉👈
There’s something I realised and that is with every relationship (romantic or not) it’s never 50/50. One gives and the other takes. It may not happen in a flourish and could be determined by the situation but someone is always 80 and the other 20. For example, when I’m with my partner, I tend to be quiet and just listen. I love listening to him, and he loves that I listen. It set the dynamic in our relationship and he also knows when I just want to be listened to. He gives me that too. But overall, I’m the listener.
With my mom, she’s the listener. She likes to listen and give takeaways but most of the time, she’s just still and waiting for you to say something
So true, sometimes it's more enjoyable to just listen especially when you're talking with someone that really had a lot to talk about, it's a nice feeling when you're just going to give questions in order for the conversation to prolong but at some point we also had this person that we somehow wants to listen to us just like our mom. Thank you for visiting and reading my blog @deraaa, I've enjoyed reading your thoughts about it🥰
College life is for keeps, especially when you spend it with the most amazing people. Guess what? When it comes to conversations, we really had a great time talking and laughing with each other. We can always set aside gadgets when we're together because my group actually has the same wavelength and sense of humor. Having good friends means having good conversations. That's right. Just continue to be open and communicate with each other. In that way, you'll be able to know each other more. 🥰
Yeah the conversation would be more enjoyable if those you converse had the same wavelength of humor as you 🥰
