The point of a conversation

I have always struggled with making a point.

Of course it comes as no surprise for anyone who has ever stumbled across my blog by mistake, but believe me when I say that I am one thousand % better at making a point in this platform than I am in real life. Yes. I am that pathetic. And if you add my goal in life in this equation (which is to be a super-articulator of thoughts), you can very well realise how big of a mess I am in.

To be honest, it hasn't been an issue for me till last year. I was at a friends's place trying to make a very valid point when all of a sudden I forgot what it even was! Now anytime any conversation gets intense, I tend to speak in english. So this guy naturally assumed that I was struggling with my english and started making stupid jokes about it and I realised I couldn't even be mad at him because he is valid from his perspective! So instead of getting defensive about it I thought I needed to work on it. And this blog has been rotting in my drafts ever since 👍

So here is what I do when I realise I'm dragging some point.

I give myself "the look" everytime I say, 'anyway...' or 'whatever, so...' because that's how many times I have deviated from my topic. It is especially discomforting since these two words more or less reign my vocabulary. But this way I am getting more and more aware of my situation which is definitely helpful.

Thing is, I tease and dance around my point for so long that I almost get lost in it and by the time I reach it (if I still remember that is, but that's again a whole new problem) nobody cares. It is more like I toil in and around and built up such a hype around it that it overshadows the whole climax of the point. That's pretty relatable right?

Yes, I've even overthought about this.

Now I know that you are probably thinking that this is one of those third world problems that you don't need to be a part of. But guess what? If you are still here, you are one fuck down!😏

Anyway(!), let me know if anyone has any tips to help me out 'cause I struggle to get my introvert ass out of my bubble everyday.

Till then, live a little!
