Do you think that the art of conversation is dead?
What's your personal opinion? I was talking with a neighbor today and he more or less said the same thing. It could be face to face or on the telephone.
Hmmmm.....it can be. I think people are just wrapped up in their own thing, sweetie. I get some, at work, that I can just chat about any old thing - naturally, whilst I'm doing the work I'm getting paid for! - and other's that just can't abide communicating with others...
The occasional grunt in my general direction, y'know?
No, I don't think that it's dead....but I do think that less people are interested in getting into a meaningful conversation these days than was the case in the past.
No, it's not dead, but there seems to be fewer people interested in engaging in worthwhile conversations than once was the case. That's my impression anyway.
Most people are fuckwits and are best ignored, a bunch of fucking energy vampires with their ridiculous views on the world and their "Well you know my mate Bob told me that he read somewhere" explanation for everything. And I oh but I know better than the foremost authorities in their field. And they're getting worst and worst!!! And neighbors?! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! "Oh but the fence is 1cm onto my property!!!!" and "Your cat took a shit in my garden, but on a side note I bought 60 tons of manure for my roses".
Yes, people talk far too much... 😂💖 But yeah it's difficult to get to the sweet spots of conversation, most people are only interested in small talk, at least in person. It's a bit easier over the phone/voice call I think.
@lovelywarpedlemon I've always liked to see the person's face when we are talking, Facial reactions are definitely part of the conversation. That's why I enjoy sitting and gabbing for a while
Not dead, but certainly not well. These short choppy tweets and Facebook post and the rest have restricted most people too much less detailed communication. Worst of all is TLDR too long didn’t read.
Face to face, especially over coffee or such. Slowing down and personal interaction is necessary. With texts, email, and fast pace it is not lost but seems fleeting. Damn bullet point society… 😆
@ReneeT I struggle with a lot health wise. This place gives me some social interaction and I appreciate all the kind and wonderful people here including you 💖.
