I think it's easy to stay at Level 1 and 2 with the people you're supposed to care about (family typically) because you know Level 3 is going to be such a huge disappointment if you go there. But if you don't go there, how can you ever know for certain?
The game is fascinating. Do you ever read a point where you just want to scream, "Ask me a damn question! I have thoughts and feelings too."
You bet! I read this meme the other day and I thought about having it tattooed on my butt or forehead: "No, I didn't [ghost you}. Your conversation skills were below par and I carried the conversation all the time. You are nonchalant, inexpressive, and your idea of taking an interest in me was a constant "How was your day?". Having a conversation with you was not mentally stimulating. I didn't ghost you. I just stopped entertaining mediocrity."
I'm thrilled that my first comment was so thoughtful, almost poignant. It bodes well for the future. (insert smiley winky face here).
I'm a narcissist. All meaningful conversations are about me. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

Ha! I like it. Might fit on a business card.
