Kind words is a difficult game. You don't play with a controller, nor a keyboard & mouse: you play with words in order to find the quickest, most affectionate route to a stranger's heart, someone who reached out because they have enough trust in their skill to be vulnerable. And being vulnerable is something you will learn with time if you seriously put in time to play, to both listen, and to speak.

No need to be stronger than you really are here, no use to put up a false image or to flex and over-compensate. Stranger speaking to stranger may not seem like very particular conversation, but this is genuine heart-to-heart. The learning curve may be steep, but once you get good, the skill is transferable to all parts of your social life. This is a game about taking the first steps to learn how to make a real friend. What price do you want to put on it?
