I think most people cannot seem to hold a conversation anymore
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this lately - people have lost the art of conversation. Everyone seems full of themselves and their problems and will literally word vomit it out to anyone willing to listen. I mean?? What happened to actually having a meaningful exchange? Letting others talk, adding to it meaningfully and following up with thoughtful questions
Idk if it’s (1) a consequence of my age - I am 30 so maybe I am an old hag but - I literally cannot be arsed to listen or make conversation with most people nowadays! I am not interested in what they want to say. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind rants, or people venting to me about their problems but idk why I felt in the past there was more…creativity (?) in how people even put across their problems? Now it’s just an endless tirade of words; or (2) my circle of people is mostly limited to my coworkers and a few people outside of work, so maybe these are just not my type of people and I am just around people that I don’t get along with? However, I find that to be the case in interviews as well - with celebrities, etc. I would rather listen to what Jeniffer Aniston has to say than hear a Sydney Sweeney or a Meghan Markle
