RE: Sam's Hangout #72- GENUINE CONNECTION ON HIVE
Hello, this is my first time seeing this engagement here and I think I like it.
I am someone who doesn't really like connecting with people through pixels. I often feel like people are not really who they seem online, like you can't get the whole nuance of them, no matter how hard you try. But that doesn't stop me from trying to push for genuine connection with people I know I might never meet. So far, I have only been able to make one friend who I have had conversations with on and off Hive. @Takhar
Takhar makes original lovely posts and I often wonder how his mind is able to engineer such coherent wordings. It was why I replied under some of his posts and when I stopped seeing his posts for a while, I wondered why. When he came back online, I was really glad and he offered for us to chat on Discord instead. Since it would be conducive. We have had lots of intellectual conversations and even mundane ones. Talking about lives in our different countries, love, and even nature. I think Takhar is obsessed with Astrology (moon) 😂 and meditation. He once tried to get me to meditate but I'm too hyperactive for that.
Though, recently, we haven't spoken for a while, I feel like no matter what, he will always be there for me to talk to him and I for him. Sustaining genuine connections on Hive requires mutual understanding and the efforts that you both truly want to make your friendship work. If it is one sided, it will definitely die. When trying to connect with people, you shouldn't have to look at the hive power they hold or their reputation, it only makes you look like a powermonger or someone who only sees people as items to be used. You have to see people as people and with the mindset that you want to understand them as humans, not as investments.
I am also thankful to @justfavour for bringing me on Hive. It is one favor I will never be able to forget. Also, I will like to thank @agmoore for her encouragement, comments and criticism on some of my stories during my early days here. She's one of the reasons why I think I will never stop writing. I have read a lot of lovely posts on Hive from different people with different cultures. I have felt connected with people through their words.
Thank you, @terjix, for the kind words. You are a lovely addition to Hive. Your blogs show intelligence and insight. Continue to have fun!!
Welcome to the hangout, Joy.

You are welcome to the hangout @terjix happy to have you join us.
Haha now I'm so curious to make friends with Takhar too, you speak so many great things about him. It's always different and better when the conversation continues to grow.
You're right about that... See people as people and not items to be used. A lot of newbies tend to look at the Hive power of others to engage and that's a mistake.
That's a really nice thing to say about Agmoore, it's worth being proud of.
Looking forward to seeing you around.
Thank you very much, Merit. It's a pleasure to partake in the hangout. Takhar and Agmoore have been two great minds I'm glad to have met on this platform.
I'm thankful for the guidance I got while navigating Hive. It really helped me in truly connecting with people, instead of just looking at the financial benefits.

Oh, wow. Thank you for your kind words, Terjix!
It was more of a right timing and (following an intuition) on my part to ask for your Discord and continue our conversations off Hive when you stopped by my post. I hardly ever do that and can't even remember doing it here on Hive lol, apart from that occasion, of course. I guess it's so relatable talking to you and there's some depth to your personality and also as a person. Do enjoy all of our talks, both the mundane and profane, and always looking forward to catching up on figuring out and navigating modern life :)
Indeed! Sustaining genuine connections generally requires bypassing many of the labels and stereotypes people display and we think that they have. We have to go deeper than that, to find a solid common ground to work together on building into something that can last a lifetime.
You're welcome, Takhar.
I'm really glad you followed your intuition. It's been a real pleasure having these talks with you and I'm still looking forward with delight to when we talk again.✨
You two connection is enviable, I love what I'm reading. 🤭
May the bond continue to grow even strong, we all need our friends wether online or offline.

I remember when you came on hive and I’m really glad to see that you’ve make these connections even though it’s not something you will normally want to do.
Welcome to the hangout. It’s sad that I always forget to tag you but I’m happy you found it anyways.
Will you like for me to tag you for the coming weekend hangouts?
Thank you for the warm welcome, Hope.✨ I am glad I am making these connections and I honestly hope for the grace to carry on. You have also been a motivating force for me on Hive.
Yes, I would really love to be tagged. Thank you very much.

Seeing you write many line for your friend shows how great he is and the kind of strong connection you both have built together.
I strongly agree to you say on people connecting with people probably because e of what they want to get from them which is not okay.
Genuine connection is the best no matter what.
We are glad to have you join us on the hangout. It's always a great place to be on a weekend 😍
Yes, my friend is wonderful. Thank you so much for welcoming me.
Oh my goodness i know I'm late to this week hangout my network will be the end of my enemies o ☺️☺️😂. But at the same time I won't be left out.☺️☺️ It's nice having you here well in my own case, it's more comfortable to interact with strangers online because i feel it brings people closer though people with the right sense of humour. But when we get to meet, there is always this awkwardness. 🙃🙃 I can't say I'm shy around them but in the end i always get this comment back from them "you don't seem like the person I've been chatting with". Or "you're lively online but wired offline". So in my head i will just be like "am i fake" 🤥 or I don't just know how to start communication while with strangers.🤗🤗 Well I'm actually working on myself.
