Hearing from an old friend you've lost touch
with can be a pleasant surprise,and reviving(
恢复)those old friendships can be extremely ful-
filling,but we often hesitate to initiate those
reconnections.Now psychologists from Simon
Fraser University and the University of Sussex
have pulled a rabbit out of the hat.
They recommend making some preparations
by practising in advance.They gathered almost
2,500 participants who were divided into two
groups.The first group spent three minutes
writing messages to current friends,while the
second group spent three minutes looking
through social media.Then,everyone was asked
to draft and send a message to an old friend.
Over half of the first group ultimately sent the
message.Only 31 percent of those in the social
media group reached out to an old friend.
Why is this such a challenge that we need to
practise to overcome?The reason a tie grows in-
active is probably that people move away or their
interests change,and so they lose track of other
people and feel they are just like strangers.Send-
ing messages directly to "a stranger"is hard and
discouraging,but if you send messages to current
friends,and then change the recipient's name to
someone you haven't spoken to in a while,hit-
ting send will become easier.
Peggy,a psychologist at the University of
Pittsburgh,found that we tend to underestimate
how much other people in our lives appreciate us
reaching out."So for the recipients,when they're
reached out to,those feelings of surprise really
strengthen that appreciation.People fear that the
other person has no desire to reconnect,but if
you did reach out,you'd be surprised by how ex-
cited people would be to reconnect.
But such reconnection might contribute to
keeping up with old friends on a surface level.
Fully reactivating an old friendship calls for
something extra:a phone call or a face-to-face in-
teraction,giving immediate response.

的朋友很难,但是心理学家有一个妙招帮助人们
克服重新联系的障碍:提前练习,做热身准备。
1.Why was the first group asked to contact cur-
rent friends before messaging old ones?

become easier.”可知,给现在的朋友发信息是
