Ghostwriter
I always find it interesting when my husband announces that he wants to have a real conversation. (I am not sure what the other conversations we have are.)
He asked me if we have real conversations here. I gave it a lot of thought and there are a few people I have real conversations with and many who are simply here to gather virils and get paid. (There is nothing wrong with that either.)
It does make me wonder, if as a society we are losing our skills to have sincere and meaningful conversations. I like a cute emoji now and then, and I still love to read and hear the words.
So I think once a week right here on Virily we should have a real conversation post. Where we really talk about things that matter or make us laugh or have nothing to do with the site and maybe get to know each other.
I am not very hopeful that anyone will participate. If you decide to just use the title real conversation and put up a subject.
Good idea, In fact there are few type of conversation ,
Debate is a competitive, two-way conversation. …
Dialogue is a cooperative, two-way conversation. …
Discourse is a cooperative, one-way conversation. …
Diatribe is a competitive, one-way conversation
Great research you have done here. I hope that today you will start a dialogue cooperative conversation! Let me know!
Yeah , I would love to start , One of the basic key element for any conversation is listening .If you listen carefully you will definitely understand well and once you understand you will be in better position to respond effectively for a meaningful conversation.
Many are getting away from face to face conversations. Texting has taken over.
It agitates me when people are sitting in the same room texting each other. I turn off my phone if that is going on.
that is a wonderful idea and a great way to find out what everyone thinks. OK so it would start off with Real Conversation. Sounds good.
I am hopeful we can have more conversations here. I like to converse. I always learn things from others.
yes, you are right some f us are really lazy or miss the “Real conversation” due our laziness!
Sometimes I am very laid back and lazy.
I prefer reading and learning without my input. But sometimes I feel I must respond to a particular post/reply!
You are quite right – the art of proper conversation does seem to be in decline. One problem is that – sooner or later – somebody will take offence at what someone else has said, and you end up with an online shouting match and name calling.
At least – that is what often happens on other forums. I would like to think that people round here are a bit more mature than that.
I would like to think many things, and everyone is different.
Great idea …Gladly I will attend talks, my friend
Good to know, do you have any ideas for topics we all may enjoy talking about?
I love the idea Ghostwriter, to get to know each other better. I think you have a lot of good thoughts we need to all hear about.
That is so very kind of you to say. Thank you for making me smile this morning.
Well, I like the idea of having a real conversation Ghost. I think with the internet it is easy to get lost with just typing words and responding to comments. I do like having real conversations though.
I like great conversations. Sometimes I will send a private message just to check on people here.
