Let’s have a conversation.
I will speak and you will listen
“That’s called a monologue, not conversation”
Whatever! I will speak and you will listen intently
and you will agree with whatever I say and not disagree
else I will unfriend you
“That’s a transaction, not conversation”
Don’t throw Pop psychology at me
I will speak for a long time
and then you will like it
or better, Love it
even jump up and make gestures
to show how smart I am
“You need a cheerleader, not a conversation”
Don’t be such an intellectual, please!
Can you not find joy in my words?
in fact, the longer I speak
more animated your response should be
as soon as I am done,
to show that you were listening
you should immediately tell
at least 10 of your friends what I said
or you are not my real friend!
Prove your friendship!!
If you feel the above is a bizarre post
then check what happens daily on social media
Are we making “conversations” to share and connect
or to satisfy our ego needs?
Watch the video for what Jim Dethmer is asking us to check at the end of every conversation
