I mean, I’ve wanted to talk deep with people, but I realised what I considered talking deep feels stupid talk when you’re not in the zone.

Like, people say they wanna talk about space and stuff, but there’s scientists already doing that, and in a more meaningful way.

Like, I can’t understand what I even want at this point. That feel of talking deep with someone, but when I actually think of talking about it, it sounds like I was high. Like what kinda deep talk can a average guy like me can even have?

    IMHO, you need two things for “deep talk”: authenticity and vulnerability. You can’t have that level of connection without both individuals bringing those to the table. I, personally, don’t get to that level flippantly–only with people I know and trust can reciprocate. If you try to force it, you get the opposite: shallowness.

      I mean, I’m a day dreamer, so these thoughts are on tip of my tongue for most of the day.

        Ahh. The Jack Handey School of Deep Thought…

        “Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself. Basically, it’s made up of two separate words - “mank” and “ind.” What do these words mean? It’s a mystery, and that’s why so is mankind.”

        Best to not overthink it. The really deep shit happens when you look at the world and it hits you as utterly absurd and instead of falling into nihilism or despair, you aim for the humorous.
