Jury Duty, Hymns, and When You Struggle to Make Friends — Episode 36

And this one particular conversation, I went walking with my aunt, and she's single, which I don't know.

I mean, I feel like we have a lot of single friends in our sphere of circles, which I think is a very positive thing, I think.

Positive in that they bring so much awareness to the table of just being trying to be conscientious of everything isn't built around my kids, my husband, you know, and it's good to just zoom out sometimes.

And so we were walking.

And my aunt, we just started talking about, we were getting ready to do something.

And one of the things that my aunt was saying was, oh, I don't like doing this because I have to strike up conversation.

And she's like, it's just icky.

And it's just, I don't know how to do it.

Is she kind of

more like an introvert? She's an

introvert.

Now, and the thing of it is, is she's an introvert.

But again, when you get her on a topic, she's very well, you know.

Spoken.

Very well-spoken, very well-versed.

But it's just the getting started point.

And so I said to her so nonchalantly because, you know, I don't have a problem yakking.

I wish she'd shut up right now.

I really need to learn from her and hush.

Me too.

I was just saying to her, you know, again, I don't know if this would be helpful to anybody listening, but I just I said to her, I often have a question always in my back pocket.

You are good at that.

Well, I just, maybe I've paid attention to watching other people.

But if I am, for instance, we're at the beach.

These are good friends of ours that we see every time we go to the beach.
