With whom do you talk? I speak with people that I desire to know or understand (often I am forced by necessity to converse in order to avoid appearing inconsiderate). I had a conversation today with a friend of someone with whom I speak. I came to the realization that the two minute dialogue was the longest I had spoken to her...ever. I stated to analyze the possible causes for this. First, I had never truly tried to converse with her. A rather unobjective decision on my part, for I find her 'humor' of extreme exaggeration coupled with sarcasm to be annoying. Second, I have never seen her with out at least one or two or her friends by her side. This passing today while I was working on something, was the first time I recall having the opportunity to speak with only her. Third, those afore mentioned friends talk more than she does, so in a conversation one doesn't talk to any single person but the collective. This would seem to be a common tend amongst groups of young ladies. I find she is much more interesting and not quite as 'humorous' when she is separated from the group, a fact which was quite intriguing to myself.
Why do you speak to people? Who is someone that you see often and yet with whom you rarely speak? I will try to be more aware of the people and the conversations. I offer the same proposal to you, take notice first of your surroundings, second of the people therein, and last of the conversations that one finds hidden there.
