I love this and I love your writing style and voice. I think some people become reliant on the one person who has the most social wits, who is good at asking the questions and keeping the conversation moving. People get lazy. Relationships develop in a imbalanced way if you don’t realise you are the lazy one not reciprocating the questions and showing interest.

Do you ever think, god damn it, I wish other people would make a effort here – I’m tired of helping people not feel awkward because they don’t know how to make small talk. No? Just me?
