Think about the last conversation that actually held your attention — not because you had to respond, but because you genuinely wanted to.
Hard to remember one, right.
That's the problem. Most places optimise for quantity and leave you doing the work of finding anyone actually worth talking to. It's exhausting and most people just quietly give up.
There are people out there who still know how to hold a real conversation. Who ask things that require an actual answer. Who don't vanish the moment things get slightly less convenient.
You just need to know where they are. This is a good place to start.
If this isn't relevant to you right now, you can remove yourself here.
