what's in a name? Conversation


What makes people uncomfortable?
New conversations. Any conversation with eye contact. What has become so difficult about talking aloud?  If people could stare into each others eyes for longer than five seconds is it because they want to have sex or kill each other? Why is that what is believed of conversation these days. What if people sat across from a stranger and attempted to talk about anything meaningful without glancing at a phone or computer for a few minutes. What would there be said if no technological references were made. Nothing about social media. Nothing about Netflix. Nothing external of worldly debates made fact of fiction by the media. What is left to discuss? Something personal perhaps. Something historical about themselves. Something meaningful they could share. Who would want to try this though? How terrifying to be real in person when technology could blanket any words we would ever like to share.
