Human Connection

article image placeholderUploaded by @FryedOreo
If you don't connect with me, you're not going to care what I say. I've had that problem on a lot of different platforms, or people just refuse to connect with me, so it doesn't really matter what I talk about, even if it is something they enjoy because they just don't connect with me as the person. But how is connection valuable for you here on Swell?

What stokes your flames of attention and intrigue?

You can't compare that whatever they say, written down versus spoken, because I think it becomes like a new animal. It's a different type of thing because you hear them, you hear their Steven, the breathing or the way they say a word or the flow of the words, especially if it's like not being read from a page, as I'm doing right now. Just kind of freestyling going for it

Thanks for your input @rochristensen

But I think these manifest on Swell to a certain degree, and you can see that being displayed by people in the matter of voice and the connection. There are some people out here that love to tag you. They love to tag you and see how you are doing and want to talk with you about their day. There are people also that want to talk about a particular subject and may not necessarily want to talk about the niceties of life and whatnot

Because I want in my fryed to get those voices that I am predisposed to be interested in, what they have to say, whether or not they're talking about a topic that I want to follow. So in that sense, the platform Swell does help me maintain those connections. And I don't know, he's engaged in the conversation, but that's what the heart button is for. To let someone know. Yeah, I was here. I listened

Various methods of connection. @Tim

Hello Tim. Thank you for responding to the Swell and also taking the time to listen. And isn't it so interesting? Human connection can be made on platforms like Swell and the various methods in which we have the opportunity to do so, whereas you tend to feel as though hitting the follow button is indicating to someone and letting them know that you are interested in what they have to say when they do say stuff on the platform

Very thought provoking 🙏

And yet another great thought provoking post. You know the one for me, the first thing that was sparked my interest is the sound of the voice and it needs to spark my interest by the energy the voice is carrying, but also the tone of voice. If it doesn't, it's very hard for me to listen, even if the topic they are talking about is interesting to me. If the voice doesn't sit with me, it's almost impossible

Thank you @UnityEagle

Probably sometimes I can miss a few voices that way. But yeah, like Swell, for instance, is probably the most like insurgent voices I've heard. Like in other platforms, there's just so many new people on here every day that it kind of becomes this huge turnover rate. So people who were here last month aren't people here now, but there are more people here than there were last month. So that's a unique experience onto itself

Just the way that they walk, the way that they move, the way that they talk, the way that they interact with the people around them. They interact with me and even just interact with the air around me. Just the way that they are is a draw to me. That is a huge draw to me. Not even necessarily the way that their voice sounds or even the topics that they speak about

Well, Amanda, first off, I'd like to thank you very much for taking the time to not only listen to the initial post, but also the replies within the post as well as respond yourself. And I liked what you had to say here because this is your first experience in foray into such a venue as well. So first off, welcome to the party. Hopefully you enjoy your stay
