You know how unfriendly I am, but I do get the occasional friendly smile sent my way, and if the vibes are right, I reciprocate. After all many of us wish to keep our privacy, but don't mind extended chats as long as they stay at a level below superficiality and above genuine effort. :P
Between R and V, A, N, W and I, we have this acquaintanceship. We've only known one another for three years through a shared love of pilates, regular practice and a rather frequent exchange of opinions. These exchanges are done in a safe space, and slowly allows us to find out that we're all on the same thought frequency and share common points and outlook. Whewww.
Of course we have a WhatsApp chat group. It's filled with hilarious stuff, videos and lots of comments about... pilates. Hurhurhur. It's especially helpful when I get strains and aches that I can't quite diagnose via the internet and I just ask if anyone else has experienced the same pains. Oof. We don't specially meet outside of this sphere, unless we're randomly grabbing coffee or food after class or heading to specific pilates workshops.
We arranged lunch that afternoon after class because V is relocating to Hong Kong, and we wanted to say farewell properly, outside of the studio. It's enjoyable because while these bonds are warm, and we do extend help when we can, there isn't an expectation of 'must' or 'obligation'. We know enough of one another to be comfortable with other topics of conversation. It was really lovely to sit down for a long lunch, and linger on over smoothies and coffees.
