Conversation is not art!

I clearly have to talk about something else, ironically it would be conversation. I have begun to doubt myself. On the one hand I constantly say to myself I am seriously bad at conversation on the other hand I constantly impress myself with my ability to hold a conversation. I think it stems from the fact that it takes alot of mental effort for me to approach a conversation with someone. I hate to come across false as this is a pet hate of mine, I have always prided myself in not being artificial. What you see is what you get; this obviously is not always achieved and is often masked with being facetious. What a clever mask it is. The art of conversation has drawn my attention as of late and I have been making many attempts to improve my skills in this area, and i guess what it turns out the art of conversation does not lie in talking but listening. How fucken confusing is that.... in order to communicate well, which is typically associated with broadcasting one’s thoughts is actually best achieved with sincere listening. So the goal is asking the right questions actually, ask open ended questions so you have to talk less and nod more. Who fucken knew that conversation would actually be so easy.
