For Tayson and Dilton, learning to communicate better means confronting a challenge they have always faced: how to form deeper connections with people. Tayson, who has struggled to rebuild his social life since COVID-19, realises that he has little to talk about when he is around others. In social settings, he usually waits for someone to draw him into a conversation. But if he wants to form deeper bonds, he knows he cannot keep waiting for others to make the first move. Dilton works as a social worker with teenagers, a role that requires him to communicate with confidence and ease. Beneath his ability to engage with others, he struggles to form deeper bonds. He discovers that meaningful friendships require him to expose his vulnerability first. For both Tayson and Dilton, the next step is to put what they have learned into practice and learn that sometimes, they need to find the courage to reach out.
