Observing the Lost Art of 'Real' Communication

Birth of Clarity Premium #3

Welcome to Birth of Clarity’s premium newsletter.

Sit at a café today. Visit the supermarket. Eat at a restaurant. Pick up your children from the school gates. Stand in line at a public service office. Go to these places and really observe the people around you. Watch them interact with each other.

What you might notice, by and large, is that a lot of the conversations appear to be ‘fake’. It might seem awful for me to say but that’s what I’ve been noticing more and more. When I stop and watch people talking to each other nowadays, it seems forced.

As I said, this isn’t everyone but look at people's faces when you’re next out. Notice their eyes. Watch them glance at their phone or gaze off into the distance while they’re being spoken to. Sometimes it’s obvious to spot. Other times it’s very subtle.

Have you seen the vacant look on people’s faces when another person starts talking with purpose and passion? Have you noticed the uneasiness of people’s hands when they are conversing with someone who is talking calmly to them?

A lot of people nowadays appear to be uncomfortable when they’re interacting with others. Conversations seem to be time fillers with no real substance. Maybe that’s not a bad thing? People look bored and just waiting to do something ‘more exciting’.

You have probably witnessed the rise in social awkwardness. You might have been part of a conversation with someone who seemed more interested in their phone than what you were saying. Maybe that’s on you? Either way, rudeness is running rampant.

Have you seen a difference in your day-to-day observations? What could be the reason for this change in ‘real’ communication? Am I off base here? Let’s take a deeper look at the reason why and some solutions to get us back on track.
