do you think a person can hold simultaneously more than one conversation?

my question steams from the movie "Her" combined with me trying to become ambidextrous. In the movie, the OS(operating system) could simultaneously hold thousands of conversations.
Do you think it is even possible for a human to -at the same time- converse with two others?

I've held multiple individual conversations on many occasions.

What doesn't work is having a single conversation with multiple people simultaneously without interrupting each other, at some point.

That would involve being around people, no thanks.

@Steve42 but Steve you're talking to me, do you think there's a dog behind the screen? It's a human!!! da - daa .. One in a good mood. So, i think, i might be mistaken (but you'll tell me so) i think you might - just might - enjoy our communication, at least seems to be bearable, since you reply.

you can tell many stories, and you can have many interpretations out of one situation. That's what communication is about, for me.
For example, now you give me this image, i react with a certain way. If you replied with something different, i'd like to think(...) that i'd react differently.
funny pic btw, even if i'd prefer that you'd be less suspicious towards me. You don't need to though, that's another interesting thing in communication, the certain freedom of expression.

Yes.

I used to do this at my CS job 20 years ago. Talk to one on the phone, answer another via email and interact with boss mostly or occasionally coworkers during all that.

Yes, they gave me a raise.

I've done it for brief periods of time, but it's really difficult and frustrating and exhausting.
elafina · 36-40, F
@DunningKruger you're right it is, i think i can do it for like 3 seconds. 30 max.
I've tried writing two different things with my two hands and i observed that my attention would shift quickly from one to another but couldn't simultaneously give orders to both hands. But i'm sure with practise is possible..
