I Love a Good Conversation

But I’m terrible at keeping one up. My interest has to be peaked and I have to really enjoy the person to keep it going. It’s not me being a jerk, I’m just an awkward person.

I can hold a conversation but if the other person isn’t engaging it goes south because I’ll lose interest and get tired of working so hard to keep the convo going and I jump ship.

Yes, this makes sense. There’s always the other side of this too. @Keepitsimple

I feel the same accept sometimes i think i say too much and people just want to get away from me its why a lot of times i won't start a conversation let the other person start it

My problem is that I can be so eccentric that few people share my interests. And I refuse to get into the politics or religion debate.

You’re smart for avoiding those topics. I only discuss them with people who aren’t trying to change others. It’s possible to be friends with conflicting views, but very rare. @SageWanderer

A conversation is like starting a fire with flint stones .. Reason why we say "To strike up a conversation".. Both stones need to rub enough to warm up to start a fire ..

That makes sense, I’ve never thought of it that way. @in10RjFox

It does take two, otherwise it's just a sad monologue lol

@ChiyoSKL a good conversation should be natural... It just flows... Nothing worse than being in a conversation you don't want to be in... It has to be interesting... Maybe you just have other interests?

ChiyoSKL · 31-35, F

That sounds exactly like my problem. It sort of feels forced. 🤔@ozgirl512

@ChiyoSKL you may be trying too hard or you just might not be interested ..

Have you tried responding with movie lines? I don't know about you but, I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

About which part? The movies? If so then yes I’m completely serious. It’s almost frustrating when people go “remember how in such and such this happened.” And I have to say “never seen it.” That’s probably why I know very few celebrities as well.@GerOttman
