Bridget Callahan is Your Best Friend

I take it back. Sometimes the other person has absolutely no clue what you are thinking and feeling. Talking still doesn't fix it though. Then they have to believe you, and nobody ever does that. They try when they want to, but really all we have is first impressions of each other, and if we like that first impression, we can spend insane amounts of time ignoring anything that doesn't jive with that. It gets to a point where two people are living in such different worlds, they can't even communicate in simple sentences. All that comes out of their mouths is frustration. Which makes a very strong case for love at first sight, because if you can't make it work in the beginning, its never ever going to work.

Or maybe two people understand each other too well, and become unable to hide any disstisfaction, boredom, or unhappiness from each other. An essential skill in any long term relationship. Any one where egos are involved anyway.

Perhaps somtimes its better to just give up on your reality, and be what they say you were all along. At some point, one of the lies has to win, doesn't matter if its his or yours. The word reality has to take on mutual meaning again, or there is no resolution.

Repeat: talking sucks.
