About This Quote

This is where you are talking to someone about something that has just happened or something that is on your mind. You are trying to say the right thing but it doesn’t seem to be working out. The person you are talking to doesn’t seem to be interested in what you have to say so you don’t know how to continue. You keep asking yourself “What did I do wrong? How can I start this conversation over? What should I say next?”
