I've noticed that conversations don't seem to be about understanding each other as much as they used to be.

People seem less interested in what you're actually saying and more interested in finding the part they can disagree with.

I've noticed that asking a question can have more consequences than just being wrong.

I've caught myself wondering whether some things are even worth asking.

I've noticed how often people seem to want to know what you believe before they're willing to hear what you have to say.

It's strange how quickly a conversation can change once someone realizes you don't completely agree with them.

I've noticed how often people pause before saying what they actually think.

Sometimes you can almost see someone decide whether it's safe to finish the thought.
