Daily Productive Sharing 1150 - Social Fitness
One helpful tip per day:)
A while ago, I planned a trip to a place where I thought an old friend might live. I hesitated before sending a message since the last time we talked was nine years ago. After some hesitation, I finally reached out—and to my surprise, they happily agreed to meet. Rob Henderson has had similar experiences:
- Although he and Tom only call each other once a year, they remain close and share the ups and downs of their lives.
- Strangely, people report being more willing to talk to a complete stranger than to reconnect with an old friend.
- Researchers suggest this hesitation stems from the fact that, over time, without regular contact, people begin to see old friends as strangers rather than friends.
- The longer the gap between conversations, the less familiar they seem.
- It takes approximately 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend and a total of 200 hours to become close friends.
- Good relationships gradually wither away from neglect; if you don’t maintain them, they will disappear from your life.

前阵子要去一个地方旅行，想着也许有老朋友在那，要不要见个面。打开微信一看，上次聊天已经是九年前了，犹豫了一番，还是发了消息。没想到对方欣然答应。Rob Henderson 也有类似的体验：
- 尽管现在他和汤姆一年只通一次电话，但他们仍然很亲近，分享生活中的起起落落；
- 奇怪的是，人们表示，与其联系一位老朋友，他们更愿意和完全陌生的人交谈；
- 研究人员认为，这种迟疑的原因在于，如果长时间没有定期联系，人们最终会把老朋友视为陌生人，而不再是朋友；
- 两次对话之间的时间间隔越长，他们变得越不像一个熟悉的人；
- 从普通认识到普通朋友大约需要50小时的社交时间，而成为亲密朋友则需要总共200小时的时间；
- 良好的关系会因疏忽而逐渐消逝；如果你不维护它们，它们会从你的生活中消失。
