Will you share your life story with a stranger?

Will you share your life story with a stranger?

Imagine meeting someone at a café, a bookstore, or during a train/ plane journey. Let's say they are single and also looking out, but of course, neither of know you know this.

Would you dive straight into your life story?
Most likely not.

Conversations in such settings are often light, easy, and free from any emotional depth.

Over time, if both make an effort, the stranger could become a close friend.

And it is only then does the emotional connection begin to take root.

Yet, when it comes to finding your person—your partner in life—the dynamic changes drastically.

The instinct to dig into each other’s past often dominates early conversations, as early as the first interaction.

But is this approach truly the best way to build trust and connection? Thoughts?
