Relationships are often difficult to navigate in the beginning, and all the more fraught now that communication itself has changed in such dramatic ways. Where in the past, we hurt each other and learned how to be better by being around each other more, it’s getting more and more easy to avoid the lessons of intimacy with another person. I’ve been guilty of this kind of lapse and I feel like there’s a lot I don’t have a chance to learn except when it’s too late. So as always, I called my bullshit detector-in-chief, Audria Choudhury, to explore practical solutions to this and many more of life’s problems. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mannmukti/message
