No, when i walk up to a colleague in my department and ask a work question, i hear or see a instant message pop up on their computer screen.
I feel that i am being left out of the chat and the group. If i feel left out, i been come stress. (
there are probably about 1 billion people at present in the world who are currently engaged in saying something.
just imagine how may things are said in the world every day.
god it just melts into white noise when i think about it.
think about the volume of everything everyone who ever existed has said since the dawn of communication.
it is curious that even though the amount of sentences ever said is vast, it is still possible to say a unique sentence with little thought.
a sentence said with no thought to cohesion will likely be unique.
but who wants to hear unique sentences that make no sense?
everything that can be sensibly said has already been said i think, and so i do not consider that my input to a chatroom would be unique so i consider my input to be just an optional addition to their conversation.
i would however be enthralled to eavesdrop on people in various times in the distant past as long as i could understand what they were saying.
it would be interesting to hear what a family said 9,000 years ago in their home.
but as for now, if i do not hear what you say, then i do not feel insecure because i have heard it all before
