Many people express pain when they believe Nonviolent Communication should enable lasting connection between any two people - I would say there is absolutely zero hope of this* - but NVC can help two people get to unity quicker, for example, to get to agreement that they aren't going to be in regular contact. Since I reached this understanding I have had much less stress and conflict in my life, especially with NVC people!
* because of personality clashes, circumstances, preferences, differences in style, cultural differences, different priorities in NVC learning, different life priorities, and above all different needs in relation to communication/friendship at any one time.

I think NVC enables us to connect to anyone. The problem is, that it takes a lot of time. At some point of my life both my business partner and my life partner wanted to end our relationship. I decided, that I didn't have the energy and time to be working on two fronts. I decided to work on just one. Sometimes there are reasons to take time and listen to the people, that seem so different and make me angry and/or sad. My parents were an example. The mother of my son were another.
I'd like to think that it's okay to go for relationships, that come with ease and fun. I don't have to become friends with everyone. I choose not too. I want my life to be meaningfull and easy at the same time.
