There’s saying it. And then there’s saying it into a microphone.
The microphone changes things.
The microphone means that more than just the people right in front of you are going to hear you (both metaphorically and literally). Other people are going to listen in who don’t have the same context as the people right in front of you…ie. the people you can see and vibe off of.
So when there’s a microphone we have the actual conversation (the back and forth) happening and then there’s this other thing happening where we’re adjusting the actual conversation with the people right in front of us on behalf of the people who aren’t right in front of us.
And that’s ok.
The more we become familiar with how the microphone changes things (and changes us personally) the more we can use it to the benefit of ourselves and everyone.
