Thoughts On Thinking
Communication is a wall I am running against time and time again and as much as it hurts and how frustrating it can be, I am learning a lot from those mishaps.
Communication does not necessarily need to happen between the people involved within a current conversation of any kind.
What I mean by that is, that even though two or more people come together, they obviously are oftentimes talking at rather than to one another.
By doing that, they might
Be talking to themselves, in the means of highlighting a certain idea, concept, feeling, etc. that they might want to anchor in their conscience. A sort of bookmark of thought.
Be talking to another part within themselves, such as an inner critic, inner child, etc. they might do that to calm themselves down or to provoke a certain reaction within their own system. Somewhat like a kickstarter to change direction in the conversation style that does involve the other participant(s).
Be referring to another incident, conversation with another person, that is not involved in the relationship of the conversation’s participants. That would be like an inside joke without the other person sharing that inclusive reference being present.
Taking the point above even further, as is known in meme culture, sometimes a reference to a concept is being included in a conversation without the security of knowing, whether the other participant of the conversation is aware and included in that cultural and/or group reference. It might serve the function of an invitation into a certain group think or as a means of checking out the group belonging of another person.
I don’t really know what to do with that awareness yet, but it does seem useful enough to write it down.
(Whom am I referring that to, when posting it on the internet?)
