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:

1. Although he and Tom only call each other once a year, they remain close and share the ups and downs of their lives.
2. Strangely, people report being more willing to talk to a complete stranger than to reconnect with an old friend.
3. 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.
4. The longer the gap between conversations, the less familiar they seem.
5. It takes approximately 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend and a total of 200 hours to become close friends.
6. 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：

1. 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；
2. 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；
3. 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；
4. 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；
5. 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；
6. 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。
