The Dying Concept of Conversation!

Conversation: the use of speech for informal exchange of views or ideas or information etc.

Why is personal communication such a dying concept in a world where the easiest and least time consuming thing to do is have a quick conversation with someone half way across the world? Is a simple two way conversation that hard to do?

I have always had a problem with this whole conversation thing. I love to talk. Endlessly. To people close to me, I like to tell alot of useless details of my life. Just sit and talk. I’d rather have a conversation than go out and do stuff. I’d rather talk about serious things than just talk crap. Mostly. Unfortunately most people are not like that. These things are easier to do when you still don’t know the other person well. But two years down the line things just change. I cannot express how much I just love sitting and talking! I wish the people I talk to could just realise that! My most favourite thing to do in the world is have a good conversation!!!

And again… a conversation is a TWO WAY process. It’s so nice to get a response, a reply, to have someone talk back to when you need to talk. You write your heart out to someone and they never write back or respond. You be nice when you don’t need to or shouldn’t and still the other person doesn’t give a damn. You message someone, nothing. You call someone, they don’t pick up or bother to call back. What really is this world coming to? I don’t like it and for me, it’s extremely hurtful and mean. I refuse to believe that someone doesn’t even have two minutes to atleast be courteous. Just to prevent a little mess or a little hurting.

It’s quite sad, isn’t it? Specially with the invasion of social networking and speedy communication. Why is it that lame conversation is plenty, like commenting on pictures and stuff like that but no real conversation?

Maybe because I am staying alone at home after such a long time and I don’t really get much interaction with people so I am more needy now. There is a need sometimes to tell what is on your mind to the other person, isn’t it? And what if no opportunity presents itself? 

Blah.

Talk. Just talk. It’s nice to say what you feel. It’s nice to listen to others talk. It clears up misunderstandings. Otherwise you’re just left to sort of figure out situations in your head and most often mess it up because of that.

Messy Entry. Sorry.
