[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 645665, member: 14557"] For mine it is almost the other way around. He is happy to chat about others or current events or what is going on back home, but trying to get out how he is doing, what he is feeling etc. is like pulling the teeth. He does talk about his life but it is mostly about some things he has done but even more so things he has seen etc. I usually just have to listen the voice, the words he chooses, what type of topics he does bring up etc. to get some answers on hoe he is actually feeling. Last time we spoke was couple days ago when he called about something he needed to know, after sorting out that and talking a little about his last game the weather and some things going on at home and with extended family I asked how he is doing and it went about this: "Me: So, how are you? MyInsolentWhelp: Well, you know, 'Jack' (roommate) is ill. Rather bad cough and some fever. Me: Oh, that is a pity. Do remember to make sure he drinks enough and wash your hands a lot and clean so you others may not get caught with it. MIW: Yeah, we about bathing on hand sanitizer. And Jack is getting better already. Me: Oh, that is good to hear. How about you? MIW: Oh, I have been healthy. Doesn't feel like I would be catching this bug. Me: That's good. How are things otherwise? MIW: Well, 'Jane' (his girlfriend, who is doing semester abroad currently) got a chance to do this research assisting {doing this and that and in the Uni she is currently in.} Isn't that cool? Me: Oh, that sounds exciting for her. How about you? MIW: Well, if she gets the internship there also for summer, I think I will travel to there for couple weeks after the season and maybe again in June if she is still there. it is a cool city and would be fun to spend some time there." And so it continues, till I get enough. [/QUOTE]
