Strangeness in communication

Yesterday, I had a short but strange conversation with someone.  Usually, I feel ackward while I speak with other people.  I don't always get some wit on time.  It is not my area of expertise.  Yesterday, I felt, for a rare time, that the role where reverse.  The other person seemed to justified himself.  On my side, I was understanding of his stance and ready to move on.

Feeling at ease talking, be it in front of a group or on a one on one level, it is an artform.  I would like to be a bit more quicker in my thinking.  What discourage me is that only practice can be helping to get better.  I don't always have the energy or time to do it.  What I found interesting, yesterday, was that I felt confident, even if I knew I could be better in my reply.   It was a good day on that side.

Talking is not my strong point.  I don't master that artform.  I would like to be better in conversation and be witty.  My creative strenght are elsewhere.  It was just interesting to be in a situation where I didn't drag on in the conversation.  It was more the other person that was dragging a bit.  What I get from yesterday is to not interact with that person again because it isn't with him that I will get better in conversation.

Creating a dialogue is way easier for me.  I feel more spontaneous while I am writing it.  I don't know why it is easier that way.  Maybe there is less stress because the dialogue on paper is part of a piece of fiction.
