Member-only story
Shiro Therapy.
That was what we called it.
Thursday nights at a small restaurant in downtown, me and my friend would meet. We would order a dish called Shiro and catch up.
There was something nice about the consistency of the day, the place and the meal that made it work.
Just the two of us.
I have another friend I meet twice a year. For our birthdays. And catch up about the rest of the year. Doing that for almost 21 years.
Then there is the crazy one. We have deep therapy sessions as well. She and I have known each other since college. We recently got back to meeting more regularly. She would remember conversations from years ago and we would spend hours laughing — often irritating people around us.
I love these engaging conversations. But I get it with just two people at a time.
It is honest, deep and vulnerable. My kind of conversation.
Even one more person and the conversation becomes about sounding funny or cool. Just not as raw.
I can talk one-on-one for hours with most people. But with more than that, I have a time limit after which I need to get away.
Is it an an introvert thing?
Or is this a therapy thing?
Can more than two people have a genuine conversation?
