I need to preface this post by saying this isn't aimed at any one person in particular, if it was I would likely have approached you about this in private. These thoughts are shared here in observation of a general behaviour pattern I have noticed.
As a writer one of the things you have to learn quite quickly is how to write characters that have realistic or believable conversations. That is, two or more characters engaging with one another in a way you would actually expect people to engage. In the pursuit of perfecting this skill, writers often have to pay closer attention to real world conversations they have and after the fact they pull them apart and pick at the pieces to see what they're made of and what can be learned from the experience.
