I am not sure it is possible for everybody to have that connection in or outside T. I don't think I can have it. I look at other people a lot when they talk, and really listen to them and say very little myself, but that in itself does not create a connection, because there is nobody who finds it meaningful that I listen to them in the way I find it meaningful that T listens to me.

But that's fine, for me - I don't think that kind of connection is a necessary component of my life. I rather think it can foster dependence on others, which is negative.

Once again, I come to the conclusion that we are all different and nobody can tell anybody else what is important for them. Which is one reason why it is better to listen than to talk, or else we'll never find out what is important to other people.
