Preference to chat with one or two people

Lotus

I prefer to chat with just one or two people - more than that and it doesn't feel so comfortable. In a group, communication feels more forced and less natural to me. Is this because there are too many people to focus on and the conversation becomes more "random"?

Does anyone have any knowledge or ideas about this?

  • All I can say is that I prefer to speak with someone one-on-one because I can focus and engage meaningfully on that basis.

    In larger groups, I feel that "person A" would need me to converse in "way A" and "person B" would need me to converse in "way B" in order for me to communicate the same thing to these two different people.......but you can only explain it once when taking to person A and person B at the same time....so I have to compromise my preferred means to transmit my message.  I find that frustrating and the compromises make my already 'obscure' communications, muddled and messy.
