Conversations are how we get to know people, get closer to them emotionally--if that is to happen. If we back off from those conversations so thatmtheymdont progress, then we stay at a stalemate or the other person gets bored and leaves.

If you aren't willing to take to risk, maybe that's why you isolate. That's why I do. I'm lazy too--most people just aren't worth that risk for me.

Occasionally I meet someone who is worth the risk. Very incredibly rarely I manage not to run. That's when miracles can happen.
