Minter this is another great article. An awareness of how to initiate conversations, etc. Life is short, what better way to learn about our world, cultures and from each other..engaging in conversations with others can be instrumental in helping learn more about one’s self and each other, especially those who we think we may already know. I have to agree, I also feel it’s not easy staying interested in conversation when one feels they are an overall expert or for me, it’s hard to converse with someone who is “rough around the edges” so to say. Emotions on any given day can vary for all ages and can definitely impact conversations. In the end a smile, an encouraging word, kindness may impact another more than one may ever realize. Patience is a virtue. Lol on those off days for myself, I tend to give myself a “time out” and unplug, read, hike or go to bed early. :) Helps sets a different mindset in a very positive way!
