I told my T a little about how I am trying to make people I connect with/like/value more a part of my life. I'm not doing this in a concerted way but just quietly keeping it in the back of my mind. When I meet a person who seems like I might want to get to know them better because of connection potential (or whatever, or "deep" as my T said), I make more of an effort to recognize this and then am more active in encouraging the relationship to grow, nurturing it. I haven't done much yet, but I have nurtured two friendships in this way, and have one new friend with whom I can connect and one acquaintance growing toward friendship person. I need to spend some more time growing these friendships--I've been busy. So that's been my efforts so far. Kind of haphazard and not strongly directly, but just there in the back of my mind. What T said when I told him I wanted more people like this to be a part of my life was that I could do this by putting myself into situations where such people congregate. That was interesting to me as I haven't been doing that. For me, it's kind of been random. But his idea is more goal-directed and would probably yield faster results. We didn't discuss this further--a topic for the future. I look forward to it. I am curious about what sorts of places and situations with high congregations of "deep" people he will suggest.
