“Merely saying Yeah, well may give the other party a chance to finish up a thought and consent to the break-up without looking foolish (like the way we say All right! in a higher pitch to announce that a phone call should end). This tendency may reflect the fact that ending a conversation is somewhat negative by nature, so offering subtle signs of support and chat-end coordination can preempt any ill feelings.”
My GP is really bad at endings.After holding the phone for several minutes,I realise he has gone.But I know him and even ending a consultation is difficult so he walks out of his room and then the patient follows him.
In the article above it says endings are linked to a fear of death [I think} I know with my women friends we send a lot of little words ending in ByEEEEE or Bye for NOW
.With men I am not so sure as I don’t talk to many on the phone.because even now I can’t imagine another person in my life.It takes a long time to get to know somebody.Even my husband manifested a new aspect when before he died he told me all the things he was angry with me about like being more intelligent than him [ not true]
I thought it was funny as I was teaching maths in a University.But at the same time I was in such emotional pain knowing he was dying that I felt glad he could let it all out.Like I beat him at Chess 42 years ago.It proves you never really know anyone although it might have been his suffering that caused it.
Ending anything can be difficu
