Sometimes I’ll say “Why don’t you want to visit Lithuania? Why don’t you want to visit Azerbaijan? Why don’t you want to visit Mongolia? I don’t feel a particular connection to it or like I need to go there.” As my way to shortcut terminating the conversation
Oh ty that's actually super useful! I didn't know what to say and ofc didn't feel safe saying "I'd love to go there once it's no longer an apartheid state" so I kinda just waffled about oh idk I don't have family there yadda yadda
I feel like a "fun" part of converting is like, gonna have to learn how to navigate conversations like this haha. this should be a topic they cover in conversion classes!
