Who cares if sometimes we suck at conversing. Why is this not ok?

I can converse about any subject. But I have come to realize sometimes when I am in my integrated cognition (creative cognition) I suck at conversation.

Because my brain is in creative mode. So I am really conversing internally about whatever the other person is saying in the outside conversation.

At that point the conversation is just a string of prompts for me. They are making me think and my brain has gone all in on that. Good conversationalists see this and will forgive you. It's kind of a compliment. They just expanded your mind. They are probably used to it. Some give this gift to others a lot.

We should be able to suck at conversation sometimes without it being a crisis.

There are times I am great at conversation. My high sensitivity allows me to see others deeply. They really appreciate that.

But the flip side of this gift is sometimes I loose myself in myself. You can see this in my writing. This is why I do a podcast. I am just talking to myself during it. I am lost in me. It seems some don't do this. I was surprised to find that out. This i's how I am wired. It is not at all a reflection of you. We don't always have to be the perfect mirror to others.

Why are we taught to take everything personal? That just leaves us taking every thing others do, personally. The introspective are worrying themselves to death they are making other uncomfortable. What a waste of brilliant thought.

Let's give each other more grace. Let's get a big picture take on conversation. The reason we are taught this is not so great.

We all live in captivity and our captors want us to focus on how to fix ourselves rather than be aware of the fact we are all captives. Captive of those who employ, educate and parent us. That's right kiddos mom and dad own you.

You are perfect. Your job in life is to find out how you work. If you are struggling it's likely because you are not a good slave.

This is a great thing. Let's change your focus to getting you freed. Then you will pity the ones who are good at being slaves.

All the shit being a good slave buys is nothing when compared to your freedom.
