One day I met with a friend in restaurant. We’re both high energy and chaotic communicators. We were discussing something when waitress interrupted us to ask for the order but also asked how can we do THAT. We didn’t know what “THAT” was and she said that we were having dozens of conversations at the same time. Indeed we had. We were both able to keep multiple threads running. It was really a fun time. This article reminds me of it and I think I can align. But albeit it sounding nice and smart it’s not easy to be on the “weaving” side. Some conversations can be frustrating. For example, people expect that I bring some magic solutions to their problems while I don’t have any. I can find those, I’m not bad at t it, but for that I need to brainstorm while vocally exploring problem scope: recall similar situation, make some naive statements, ask stupid question, allow myself to get corrected. During such sessions I prioritize, assess root cause but also try understand political and social aspects, because it might be that I need to back off for non meritorious reasons. And even here, in this very thread, there are comments like “people who talk too much” or “like the sound of their voice too much” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
