you can persistently keep talking to people 7 days per week, drives them nuts but eventually they return to earth for as long as you keep it up. skip 3 days and all answers are humm uhh again, if you get any

i know people who only do screens, they cant have a conversation anymore, if you say something they don't hear you, if you poke them they say they are busy. seems reasonable until a year goes by without any conversation. then its fair to wonder where they went.

i don't normally keep talking if people rather not listen or participate but if i force it they produce short sentenced, then long ones, then dialogs and stories, make jokes, have a laugh. they stay that way as long as i maintain the effort. skip a week and they forget how to talk again
