Have you ever had such a conversation?

Question

I just got home from quite a strange experience and would like to know, if there is anybody whom I can share this feeling with.
Today I got into a conversation of 3 people at work (an After Hour Club) and after that conv. was over (we were closed already) I found myself left there with this complete stranger and as one word led to another, we were suddenly talking about addictions, love, losses, bosses, trust, life crises ... pretty much everything that is deeply meaningful in human lives. There were no pauses, one topic brought us to the next, it was a very open conversation that lasted for 8 (!) hours. And we actually only stopped, because I have to get some sleep before working again. And there was absolutely no sexual attraction.
I just think this was a very special, seldom situation that we probably don't get to be part of very often in our lives.
I feel lighter and happier, even though I wasn't unhappy before it at all.
Anybody there, who knows how good but weird this feels?

Answer 1

I've had the same experience, and it was amazing. Some people you just connect with. And it is very strange in a wonderful kind of way.

Answer 2

Well, looks like you found a type of soul mate. Not sexual, but literally a soul mate. If you feel that uplifted after your 8 hour conversation and you guys managed to speak for 8 hours, you met you non-sexual S-Mate. There's a reason for everything that happens in life.

Answer 3

I think it's nice once in awhile. But lifes a big game in alot of ways. If you run around trying to expose the truth all the time, I think you'll be pretty tired emotionally.

Answer 4

you probably had something that you wanted to get off of your chest and that person was just there willing to listen to you. everyone feels better after you have actually opened up and spoke what was on your mind. i personally know how that feels, but i have never talked to a stranger about it.

Answer 5

yes go with it
