Is it Dialogue or just Monologue vs. Monologue? Have you ever been in a conversation where you feel that it isn't a dialogue between people (chiefly two people) but eventually turns into Monologue vs. Monologue? What does one do when this happens?
Is it right to get frustrated and end the conversation or is it time to take a new tactic and work at getting back to a dialogue?
I would say that the answer to this is split 50/50. The answer isn't right or wrong. The answer isn't good or bad.
The answer to returning to 100% DIALOGUE is for both parties to recognize that they are monologuing. Just like in those 12 steps programs, recognizing that there is a problem is the first step. The only drawback is that there will always be a few people that will fail to recognize they have a problem of engaging in monologue instead of creating and maintaining dialogue.
How do you create and maintain dialogue?
