Ask HN: What breakthrough helped you build and maintain better relationships?
Pretty much just the title.
As a very small, but highly frequent example, I’ll invite an acquaintance to get a coffee or beer with me a few times but never have this acquaintance seemingly think of me if I’m not directly asking them to hang.
I can’t really figure out why. Maybe I’m a boring person? Maybe I’m abrasive? Maybe most people like to stay in a perpetual state of acquaintance-ness?
How do you fix something like this if you can’t diagnose what’s wrong?
