| Best friend is a hair stylist. She said it's a combo of people filling in the silence so they just start talking and the fact that the other person's attention isn't completely directed on them. Kind of like the point of the pp who made the point about talking to someone with their back turned to you. She's not making eye contact while they are talking. So suddenly asking about their weekend has turned into a vent session about how her friend got drunk and tried to hit on her DH. |
Ok, how do you know? |
Why would you? Trust no one. There was someone following someone one time at a Hair Cuttery. The moron after the lady left went up to the hairdresser to ask her what the lady before had told this hairdresser. Could hear everything, hairdresser stared him up and down like excuse me who the F are you? The lady that was being followed had not shared anything other than a hair style that she had seen on some famous person that she wanted the hairdresser to try as the cut. Was sitting right there to hear it all while waiting for a customer. |
I bet you get offended a lot. |
| My hairdresser knows more about me than my best friend does. |
Because you don’t know how to be comfortable with silence. |
I'm a new poster. I wasn't so much offended, but definitely did a double take at that. I'm bisexual, but I am absolutely loyal to my husband. One of those things does not belong. My hairdresser is a warm, intelligent person, so I feel comfortable talking with her. I think that there's also something to the idea that one can talk more freely when you're not looking at the person you're talking to. |
Threesomes can be within the bounds of a relationship too. So maybe affair doesn't belong? I think people in the service industry get this a lot. I've seen my stylist for 12 years but we just talk about superficial stuff - travel, pets, etc. |
| Same. It’s like 2 for one. |
