The three fish of Zhuangzi allude to the reason why the relationship between people is gradually distant. In interpersonal relationships, relatives and friends may drift apart because of the following:
1. Changes in living environment: People's living environment changes over time and personal development. Sometimes, relatives and friends move to different places for work, study, or other reasons, which increases the distance between each other and makes it difficult to socialize.
2. Differences in hobbies: As people age and personal growth, people's hobbies and interests may change. If relatives and friends have different interests and hobbies, they may gradually lose their motivation to talk about common topics and communicate with each other.
3. Hectic pace of life: Life in modern society is fast-paced, and people are often busy with various affairs such as work, school, and family. This busyness can lead to less time and opportunities for friends and relatives to socialize, which in turn can lead to a drift of contact with each other.
4. Lack of communication and exchange: Interaction between relatives and friends requires effort from both parties, and maintaining good communication and exchange is an important factor in maintaining the relationship. If both parties don't keep in touch on a regular basis and share each other's lives and feelings, the relationship may fade.
To keep the relationship between relatives and friends growing, we can try the following:
1. Take the initiative to stay in touch: No matter how far away we are, we can take the initiative to keep in touch with friends and relatives by showing concern and greetings through phone calls, social media, or face-to-face gatherings.
2. Common hobbies: Finding common hobbies, such as participating in activities such as sports, traveling, or visiting exhibitions together, can increase communication and interaction with each other.
3. Be flexible: Try to schedule time to meet with friends and family, whether it's dinner, coffee, or a project together, and enjoy each other's company.
In short, it is normal for relatives and friends to drift apart, but we can maintain relationships through positive efforts and communication, and maintain the bond of closeness and friendship.
