Can you give an example of such a conversation, as well as the thought process towards bringing them up? I hear about conversational principles like these, but I don’t know how to get from “vague feeling that something is wrong with the conversation” to “I think you’re confusing me with excess information”.
A very simple example might be someone saying, “What’s up?” and the other person saying “The sky.”. “What’s up?” assumes a shared amount context. To be relevant, it would make much more sense for it to be asking how the other person is doing.
There are a bunch of youtube videos around the topic, I recall some go into examples.
