repair conversation

Description

A repair conversation is a ceremonial action of dredging the ruins of communication to reclaim the remnants labeled as friendship and trust. While supposedly designed to plant seeds of apology or understanding in the other’s heart, it more often spreads the toxins of embarrassment and awkwardness. Ironically, the more one tries to conceal arguably genuine feelings, the farther they drift from mutual understanding. Yet participants persist in believing that a few rehearsed words can reconstruct the fragile architecture of a relationship.

Definitions
