[00:00:31] So for those who are in a relationship, and it needn't be a love relationship, it could be even a friendship. Here are five incredibly uncomfortable questions to ask your partner or your friend. Number one, would you choose me again if you knew everything that you now know? It's such a brilliant question.
[00:00:58] Because when we are entering a new relationship or a new friendship, we're of course at the best of who we can be. We offer the best side of ours. But over time, it becomes obvious who we truly are. And some sides are not so good sometimes. And sometimes we're not so good. Sometimes we're really good. But if they knew everything that they know today about you, would they still choose you?
[00:01:28] And you should be ready for that answer. Number two, what's the most challenging part of our relationship for you? What is the thing that you struggle? What are the things that you are unable to wrap your head around? Because that will truly tell you if there's something that you still need to work on or something that the relationship needs fixing.
[00:01:52] Number three, is there a trait of mine that reminds you of something that's not so pleasant from your past? It's an incredible question. Because that is precisely the trigger. That is precisely what irks them. That is precisely what generates the negative emotions, the angst, the anger within them. And you are often wondering, what happened? This question will tell you what happened.
[00:02:23] Number four, which behavior of mine puzzles you the most? What do I do that still leaves you confused? What do I do that you just can't explain? You still don't know why. Because that will tell you a lot about how they see you. And it will open up a blind spot for you that you may not be aware of.
[00:02:50] And then number five, what topic do you find hardest to talk about with me? What an incredible question. What topic do you find hardest to talk about with me? Because that is their danger zone. That is what scares them. That is when they cannot be vulnerable. But perhaps they want to be.
[00:03:19] And if you were to take these five questions and genuinely sit down with an honest intention to know, I think it will just strengthen the relationship, the friendship that you have. All the best. If you liked this week, don't forget to review your platform. And do subscribe to Voice with Variku.
