Today, we will discuss life lessons (人生道理) about interpersonal relationships (人际关系). 有哪些人际关系的道理是你现在才悟到的？
01. Always be sincere永远保持真诚

Sincerity is the foundation of building a relationship (建立人际关系的基础). 你要向别人display your sincerity (展示你的真诚)，关键在于你是否真的真诚待人。Basically, sincere people really mean the things they say.
This means that when you care for someone,you really care and not just try to gain something from your relationship with them.You care about them as a human being, and want what’s best for them(你关心的是他们的人格，并希望他们得到最好的).

They might have all sorts of concerns(担忧), like what others think of them.But it can really let each other know where your relationship is headed in the future (让彼此知道你们关系的走向). How you feel in a relationship matters, and it determines whether or not you want to stay in the relationship(决定了你是否想要留在这段关系中).
Flora wasn't very good at expressing her feelings, but then she realized that doing so has so many benefits. 比如说简单的一句“今天和你玩得很开心”就会让对方收到一个正向的信号，这意味着你们的关系可能在向好的方向发展。
Similarly, alert the other person when you feel offended (感受到被冒犯) and tell them how you feel, which will prevent them from hurting you and your relationship further, even though they may not mean to (即使对方不是故意这样做的).
02. Communication is the key沟通是关键

Being able to communicate effectively is an invaluable skill (很宝贵的技能). 世界上绝大部分问题是由人际关系引起的，而其中靠沟通能解决的问题其实是占很多的。You need to be able to communicate what you want, need, feel or think to someone else.
Otherwise there can be miscommunications (误解) that lead to walls being built in this relationship (在这段关系中造成隔阂). 有时候换位思考也达不到和解的时候，可能是别人不知道你的需求是什么。这时候能破冰的一点就是：You need to communicate what you want, need directly：Conform? Apology? Help? Or something.
Good communication can take time and practice especially as you learn the communication style of that person(尤其是当你了解了对方的沟通方式之后), but it is important.
不过大家可能还担心的一个点是："I want to express my needs directly, but what if he or she thinks I'm just being too sensitive or high-maintenance (太敏感或者让人耗神了)?" 但是，如果对方真的在乎你以及你们的关系的话，只要你的需求是合理的，他大概率应该是不会这么想的。

If someone actually tells you, 'You're just too sensitive,' and expresses that they can't accept your feelings, then congratulations—now you know that this relationship isn't right for you. Maybe they are just gaslighting (煤气灯操纵). 遇上这种人的话你要考虑一下你们的关系了。Maybe this relationship isn't right for you.

03. Interpersonal relationships must be maintained 人际关系是需要维持的
[图片]
Especially in today's fast-paced lifestyle, it's easy for us to overlook the maintenance of our relationships(很容易忽视对关系的维持).Especially as an adult, they require investment(需要投入)- time and effort.
If you are not watering a seed, how do you expect it to grow into a flower?Even when it became a flower, you had to fertilize (施肥) it, water it, and even catch bugs sometimes.
04. Relationships without personal boundaries won't last long.
没有边界感的关系是不会长久的。
[图片]
You should put time and effort to invest, but at the same time, you have to heave boundaries to protect others and yourself. 有时候我们遇到一些和自己特别聊得来的人就容易忘记一些boundaries（边界）。
But it's these boundaries that can keep your relationship stable. That's why it's important to gradually learn their boundaries and demonstrate your own (了解他们的界限并展示自己的界限) when dealing with others. 这样双方就都会在一种很舒服的状态下沟通了。
05. Relationships: it’s good to consider quality over quantity注重质量胜于数量
[图片]
Our time and energy are limited. You cannot be best friends with everyone. When you feel that maintaining relationships has taken too much of your energy and time, maybe you should consider which ones are unnecessary.
When thinking about relationships, it’s good to consider quality over quantity.So sometimes you may need to have fewer friends to cultivate good and meaningful ones.
A bunch of acquaintances may not measure up to a true friend (一群泛泛之交可能比不过一个真正的朋友).
