A mysterious sense of distance.

I've just started using this app, but for some reason I get a lot of template messages from people overseas saying, "I'm glad to meet you. Let's be friends. Please tell me your name."

I think it's amazing that you're doing your best to use Japanese (even my own language is dangerous), but the distance is too steep. I'm sorry for saying this. Of course, there are people who speak naturally, so I don't intend to mix them all up, but they might be the same person because they send it repeatedly.

The story changes, but the first photo is a cake I ate about eight years ago at the Salon de ThéROND, a cafe in the National Art Center, Tokyo. It was surprisingly beautiful and delicious. The appearance of the ring, the things to offer, and the exhibits, everything was so wonderful that I was impressed. The vain of ignorance I can't express it well, but I love him.

The second sheet and the third sheet are data made to make bookmarks from the photos taken. I think it depends on the printer, but it was just the right size when printed on postcard-sized paper and cut in half. I'm sorry for the black margin below. I signed MAHIRO with a silver pen and handed it out to my friend. Readers, if you like, please. It is a free material.

... Read more最近、SNSやコミュニケーションアプリを使い始めると、海外の方からのフレンドリーなメッセージがよく届きますよね。特に日本語で挨拶や友達になりたいといったテンプレートのようなメッセージは、相手の一生懸命さが伝わるものの、急すぎる距離感に戸惑いを覚えることも少なくありません。私も同じような経験があり、言語の壁だけでなく、文化や慣習の違いが相手との距離感に大きく影響しているのだと実感しました。 一方で、そんな交流の中から新たな発見や親しみを感じることもあります。例えば、国立新美術館のカフェ「Salon de Thé ROND」で食べたケーキは、形や味だけでなく、店の雰囲気や展示も含めて心に残りました。美しい円環状のデザインは、まさにその場所ならではの特別感があります。こうした思い出を写真や自作のしおりなどに残してリアルな友人と共有するのも、とても楽しい時間の過ごし方だと思います。 また、プリンターで簡単に作れる手作りのしおりは、読書好きな友達にも喜ばれて、コミュニケーションの一環としても魅力的です。銀色のペンで名前を入れるなど、自分らしさを加える工夫もおすすめです。こうした小さな工夫が、物理的な距離やオンライン上の距離感を縮めるきっかけになることもあるでしょう。 結局、SNSやアプリでの人との付き合い方は千差万別ですが、大切なのは相手の気持ちを尊重しながら、自分が心地よい距離感を見つけること。無理に急いで距離を詰めるのではなく、少しずつ関係を育てていく柔軟さが、長続きの秘訣だと感じています。今後もこういったプラットフォームを通して、海外の方々との交流や素敵な体験を楽しみつつ、自分らしい距離感で繋がっていきたいですね。
