Conversations often start well. Usually there is a common topic that seems to be the point of contact.
The question often is – when are you done?
At least, when I was a youth, that was the consideration. Perhaps I didn’t have too much to say, or maybe I figured all you need to say was the point leave it at that. Over and out!
Now, years later, I have way too much to say. I’m sure I could find enough tangents to keep up a talk for some time. But when are you done? When their eyes glaze over? When you are repeating a point you made 10 minutes ago? When you aren’t interested in the topic any longer but you keep talking?
I hope to learn more . . . or maybe I should just say . . .
Over and Out!
