ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: its time to have a conversation with them

กำลังสร้างบทเรียน...
1
I want to end a friendship because it sucks the life out of me.
2
But my friend doesn't know that because I don't think I make it obvious.
3
So if I brought it up, it might make me seem crazy or seem random.
4
What do I do?
5
Well, this is interesting.
6
It sounds like to me
7
that you've never had a conversation with this friend about whatever it is that makes this relationship exhausting.
8
You've never brought it up.
9
Now, I don't know what your friend is doing, right?
10
And that is helpful information.
11
But I will say, in relationships, confrontation is key.
12
That's what makes relationships grow, evolve.
13
That's what allows relationships to continue through various chapters of life, right?
14
If you're not communicating and confronting, it's very hard to keep a relationship going.
15
And so I don't know what your friend is doing that sucks the life out of you.
16
And that's a serious statement.
17
I take that very seriously.
18
You know, if this person's sucking the life out of you, that's a big problem and we need to fix that.
19
However, if it's possible and fair to yourself,
20
I think it's not a terrible idea before just jumping ship on the friendship to perhaps maybe bring up the exhausting traits,
21
qualities about your friend to your friend before you just jump ship.
22
Thank you.
