Paying Attention







  1. says

    But really, if I can get enough other people to do this, then I can go back to being absorbed and ignored. It is, ironically, kind of distracting when it happens.

    So… what you really want is other people to carry the weight of being the speaker’s target, so you can chameleon into the crowd but still listen intently… okay, understood.Like rabbits running pell-mell to create a distraction, only with people and staring eyes.

    This is such an amusing post. I’m not the only one who does this!! If you want a true social domination challenge, try doing this in a Toastmaster’s meeting- it’s much more difficult.

    Hey, Becca. No, you’re not the only one, although I suspect there aren’t many of us. Toastmasters sounds like an interesting challenge, but it would require going to Toastmasters. (I warned you about the snark, right?)
