117. The Fatalist



Recently, someone I know very well, got told by a man friend of hers that frankly the two of them communicated too much on a day to day basis.

The girl took this information and ran crazy with it. And told him that they then, instead, would then not talk at all for three whole weeks. Nadda.

Which really was ridiculous, as after a bit of thought, this close friend of mine realised that actually, he was right and they did perhaps talk too much and that she had infact been neglecting several other very important aspects of her life, that she actually really had been missing.

I share with you now the tip that I gave her.

Count to 1,000 before responding to anything like this.

That gives time for common sense/rationale to prevail and permeate your response.
