Deep questions: When you should take out the big guns

It’s tricky to just blurt out questions about a friend’s hopes and dreams, beliefs and opinions. Sometimes, the timing isn’t right. Or your friend may not be ready to open up to you just yet.

So when should you start asking serious and deep questions? Are there any unspoken rules to this? There’s 3:

1. Nothing is off limits

You can talk about anything, from the grossest food you’ve ever eaten, to the most embarrassing things you’ve done. If you and your friend already bonded over boogers or what you’d do in a zombie apocalypse, then you can probably dig deep and talk about serious conversations as well.

2. You can cry, laugh, or burst into a hissy fit in front of each other

If you or your friend just let each other’s emotions run loose without judgment, it’s also the perfect time to get to know one another better.

3. You’ve kept each other’s secrets for a long time

There’s a reason why some people consider hanging out with their friends as free therapy.

Sometimes, serious questions could open up closed wounds, or bring back trauma. Other times, it could highlight a person’s trust issues.

If you know in your heart that you can be trusted with any secret your friend shares with you, then your friend would probably feel safe telling you things he/she keeps so dearly.
