友達と会話続かなくて気まずい!と感じるのは幻想だと気付こう

恋愛・コミュニケーション

どうも、小野田です。
「友達と会話続かなくて沈黙が気まずい!」
って感じたことありますか?

僕もそう感じてたことあります。

が、今なら声を大にしてこれを伝えたい。
 

気まずい!は幻想

気まずい!を感じる場面ってたくさんあると思います。

・彼氏(彼女)と沈黙になって気まずい
・デートで会話途切れて気まずい
・美容師さんにカットしてもらってるとき気まずい
・職場で上司と2人になると気まずい

僕もそう感じてました。

沈黙になると、そわそわしてきて
「なにか喋らないと!なに喋ろう?思いつかないー!!」
って、なってました。笑

そして振り絞った最後の1滴の言葉は、
「お腹空いたー」・・・みたいな。苦笑

せっかく好きな人と楽しむためにデートしても、
「なに喋ろう?!」と考え過ぎて疲れちゃってました。
 

でも、気付いたんです。

気付いちゃったんです。
 

==============
「気まずい」は、
自分が勝手にそう感じてるだけ。

==============
ってことに。
 

衝撃的。

世紀の大発見でした。
 

「気まずい」は”現象”ではなかったんです。
ただの”主観”なんですよ。

「気まずい」って感じてるから気まずいだけで、
その場が気まずくなったわけじゃない。
 

これに気付いてから、
「別にこれは気まずい場面じゃない」
と思うようにしました。

そしたら、気まずさを感じることがなくなったんです。

気まずさを感じなくなったら、
ソワソワモゾモゾもしなくなるので、
自然と余裕のある雰囲気になります。

そのおかげか、
「いつも心に余裕あるよね。」
と言われることが多くなりました。

昔はあんなにソワソワしてたのに。笑
 

でも、そのためにやったことはシンプル!

「気まずい」は、
自分が勝手に感じてるだけなんだ。

と気付くこと。

これだけでした。
 

こういうのって他にもたくさんあるよなーと思いますけど、
話が脱線するのでその辺はLINE@で補足するとします。

まだ参加してなかったら参加しておくべし。
 

ではではー!

    Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at claritycreatestraction continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.

  2. JohnnyCeD より:

    Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at momentumguidance kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.

  3. Coreycow より:

    Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at directionalpower suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.

  4. KaleLedly より:

    Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at focuscreatespace continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.

  5. WallaceWob より:

    Glad to have another reliable bookmark for this topic, and a look at focusdrivesexecution suggested several more pages I will be marking too, building a personal library of trustworthy resources is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is earning a place on my permanent shortlist for the topic.

  6. Davionrot より:

    Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at forwardmotionactivated reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.

  7. Kyletiday より:

    Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at forwardenergyactivated confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.

  8. Spencersteaf より:

    Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at actionwithstructure provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.

  9. KimVex より:

    Quietly building a case in my head for why this site deserves more attention than it currently seems to receive, and a look at clarityfirstmove reinforced the case, the gap between quality and recognition is a recurring frustration in independent online content and this site is one of the cases that seems particularly egregious to me today.

  10. Dariusinsug より:

    Took something from this I did not expect to find, and a stop at actionwithclarityfirst added another unexpected useful piece, content that exceeds expectations rather than just meeting them is the kind that builds enthusiasm and earns repeat visits without any explicit ask from the writer or platform behind the work being read.

  11. Dwightvitty より:

    The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at actionmovesideas continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.

  12. JasonHAL より:

    Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at focusdrivenspeed continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  13. CedricDen より:

    Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed buildcleartraction I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.

  14. Ryderbak より:

    Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at ideasneedalignment extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.

  15. EugeneEntit より:

    Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at progresswithforwardintent confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.

  16. Loganjaina より:

    Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at strategyprogression kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.

  17. CarmineSlada より:

    Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at focusgeneratespower reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.

  18. DevinSkago より:

    Speaking honestly this is among the better discoveries of my recent browsing, and a stop at buildprogressdeliberately reinforced that discovery quality, the ranking of recent discoveries is informal but meaningful and this site has placed near the top of that ranking based on the consistency of quality across what I have already read carefully.

  19. RenePlamb より:

    Reading this in segments because the day was busy, and the post survived the fragmented attention well, and a stop at strategycreatesflow held up similarly under interrupted reading, content that can withstand modern distracted reading patterns rather than requiring a perfect block of focused time is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  20. MiltonTex より:

    Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at growthmovesintentionally kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.

  21. Cedricfew より:

    A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at focusleadsaction maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.

  22. TedHah より:

    Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at buildmotiondaily reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.

  23. TerryBloma より:

    Came away feeling slightly smarter than I was when I started, that is a real win, and a stop at directionbuildsmomentum added a bit more to that, the rare site that actually transfers some of its knowledge to the reader in a way that sticks rather than just creating an illusion of learning briefly.

  24. JordanFug より:

    Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at buildmomentummethodically pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

  25. Georgedouth より:

    A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at claritybeforecomplexity carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.

  26. Ledgerclill より:

    Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at progressoveractivity extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.

  27. Jonathanneime より:

    Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at buildprogresswithintent extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.

  28. VernonGlods より:

    Thanks for the breakdown, it gave me a clearer picture of something I had been confused about for a while now, and a stop at growthpathbuilder closed the remaining gaps in my understanding nicely, no need to hunt around twenty other articles to put the pieces together which is a real time saver.

  29. LouisNaf より:

    Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at directionstartsclarity kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.

  30. RichardNex より:

    Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at signaloverdistraction extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.

  31. AllenTaw より:

    Following the post through to the end without my attention drifting once, and a look at forwardpathactivated earned the same uninterrupted attention, content that holds attention without manipulating it is content with substantive pull and this site has demonstrated that substantive pull across multiple pieces in a single reading session reliably here today.

  32. DouglasLex より:

    Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at growththroughsimplicity earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  33. ColinBap より:

    Now recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at directionunlocked extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.

  34. LewisVew より:

    Appreciate that you did not pad this with fluff to hit a word count, the post says what it needs to say and stops, and a look at directionbeforemotion did the same, brevity here feels intentional not lazy which is a distinction many writers miss completely sometimes when they are working under deadlines.

  35. FreddieInciz より:

    Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at ideasmoveforward furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.

  36. Cameronnum より:

    Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at clarityenablesaction similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.

  37. ByronMob より:

    Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at forwardintentions maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.

  39. RodrigoPax より:

    Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at clarityactivatesprogress continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.

  40. Chancegat より:

    Bookmark earned and the bookmark feels like a permanent addition rather than a maybe, and a look at actionturnsideas confirmed that permanent status, the difference between durable bookmarks and ephemeral ones is something I have learned to feel quickly and this site triggered the durable feeling almost immediately during my first read here.

  41. Rolandoviolo より:

    Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at forwardmomentumlogic earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.

  42. JaimeReump より:

    Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at actionbuildsconfidence similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.

  43. Lancedep より:

    Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at growthflowswithintent reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.

  44. BradenCoerm より:

    The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at ideasneedclarity kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.

  45. RyderJat より:

    Halfway through reading I knew this would be one to bookmark, and a look at focusdrivenprogression confirmed that early intuition, when bookmark intent forms before finishing a post you know the writing has cleared a quality bar that most content fails to clear and this site has cleared it on multiple visits already.

  46. Roderickchodo より:

    Really thankful for posts that respect a reader’s time, this one does, and a quick look at growthmoveswithprecision was the same, no need to scroll through endless intros just to get to the actual content, that approach alone is enough reason to come back here regularly for the kind of writing offered.

  47. JeremyNah より:

    Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at ideasbecomemovement continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.

  48. Daxfef より:

    Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at actionturnsvision continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

  49. Yaledeque より:

    Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at growthadvancescleanly extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
