Giorgione, The Three Philosophers She struggles to leave conversations when she wants to. She sits in silent discomfort, waiting for the other person to exhaust themself. When she told this to me, I told her that I’m not going to end our conversation, she has to do it. We talked for a little longer about autonomy and storytelling, and then she told me that she’s going to move along. I put on a sad face and started fake crying. It was a miserably poor performance deserving of a Razzie award... and it worked! What the fuck? It actually got her to stay in our conversation for another few minutes! We laughed at how dumb it was that that was effective. She expressed her resolve to leave again and was able to overcome another round of my false despair. I was happy to have helped facilitate a bit of growth for her.
