Jonathan smith, Chicago Illinois. Party goal is joke and banter around the table covered by empty bottles and toss napkins. A wobbly fellow that would be me clutches the table. A drowning man clenching to his raft. Across the room. I spot a friend laughing easily. I step in his direction. Pulled back, heart thumping sweat. Pulling thought screeching. You'll be the intruder. Sound like a fool. We're still ignored. I lurch back to the table. A woman stands there alone. I grab a plate thrusted at her cake. Thanks. I have some. She displays her trophy. Yes, no, I mean she's gone. The moment dies and so do I. That party was decades ago. But the feelings linger along with too many other similar moments. I thought I was alone. An outsider, different, so wrong. My research shows that at least 25% of the average crowd feel uncomfortable in groups. 30% have a hard time speaking up one. Many struggle to create a conversation stuck in unending, awkward, unsatisfying small talk, not talking about what matters. Failing to engage in meaningful way. Alone and anxious conversation is the most central life skill that you ever studied in school, social conversation, business conversation, conversation with friends, strangers, brief exchanges and teammate dialogues.

S. Now we appear to be heading down a perilous road. Can our most basic social assumption democracy survive in a post conversational society?
