Conversations

How is it that when you're talking w/ different people you feel a varying degree of need to carry the conversation? It's like there are people that I enjoy talking to b/c the conversation just flows along and I don't feel pressured to talk if there's silence and all that. Then there are other people that, though I love them to death, it's hard to talk to. You feel like you have to carry the conversation b/c they're so focused on you and what you think, say, or do. I think that being w/ people who are secure in who they are and who they are to you is so much easier b/c you're never afraid taht when someone stops talking it's b/c there's nothing left for you to have in common or to discuss but b/c they may just be thinking. And that's fine. And sometimes you don't feel like going to hang out w/ the people taht it's hard to talk to b/c you have to carry the entire conversation and if you really wanted to just talk to yourself there's always a mirror handy. That came out harsh, but you know what I mean. Anyway, that was a random thought. - Katie
