A situation from the Academy
You: How was your weekend? I finally made it to the Grundlsee – freezing, but beautiful.
Alex: haha
Alex: yeah
Alex: cool
A good conversation suddenly turns into nothing but “haha”, “yeah” and “cool”. What do you do?
- Send three more questions
- Share something concrete about yourself and ask an open questionBetter choice
- Feel hurt and stop replying
A short, concrete story about yourself invites a reply without pressure. If nothing comes back, that is an answer too – and you may end the conversation kindly.
