I was reminded the other day of a phenomena where a person trying out an activity, archery for instance, shoots their very first shot and gets a bullseye, then puts the bow down and says “I’m never shooting again.”
I think the idea is, they tried it once, did perfectly, and never want to potentially mar their perfect record by trying it again.
Viewing activities playfully and in terms of relationships; this would be like having the most amazing conversation with someone then saying “I never want to talk to them again because that conversation seemed perfect and I don’t want to chance having a lesser conversation”
How sad to ignore a potential friend!
