We might love to tell others about our unusual experiences—that time we climbed Mount
Everest, tasted some rare food or ran into a famous person on the street. But new research suggests
that if we s____81____ these unusual experiences with others, it may bring something
uncomfortable.
“Unusual experiences are pleasant in the moment but can
cause social t____82____ in the long run,”says psychological
scientist Gus Cooney of Harvard University. “Some people
mistakenly thought that having an unusual experience would make
them the star. But they were wrong, because to be unusual is to be different from other people, andsocial interaction is based on something similar.”
“We all h____83____ to have experiences that are fine and rare, and when we get
what we want, we are always eager to tell our friends. But I’ve noticed that conversations always seem
to develop well on more ordinary topics,”Cooney explains.“This made me wonder if unusual
experiences were r____84____ as lovely as we had thought.”
To find out, Cooney and his colleagues had 68 people come to the lab in groups of
f____85____. In each group, one person was asked to watch a popular video of a street magician
performing for a crowd, while the other three people were asked to watch an ordinary animated
video. After watching the videos, the people sat around a table and had a five-minute free
conversation.
After the group discussion, the people who watched the magician’s performance felt
w____86____ than those who watched the animated video, because they felt they were not included
during the discussion.
This finding suggests that we ought to give more thought in choosing what to talk about with
others. If an experience turns you into someone who has n____87____ in common with others,
then no matter how good it is, it won’t make you comfortable in the long run.
