Babel

Recently I've felt a lack of communication with anyone at all, family members, friends and colleagues. Even though made some new friends I don't feel I can trust them they way I need to do so that I can feel we're friends. And also it's the closest family members and friends I don't seem to get through when talking with them. Unfortunately or it's how it was supposed to be the big family, like aunts and uncles, and their kids, we didn't keep in touch ever since Granny died. Actually I can feel very lucky that my aunt on my father's side, who's his step-sister cares so much about me, while my dad just forgot both me and my brother.
But then this is something different, something very bad, that I'm experiencing these days, well, for a good while now - It's making me feel very upset, when we talk to each other, but it feels like two lines go parallel and never meet. I feel so helpless and very often get so angry that then it's preventing me to try and find the way to make myself understand. It could be such everyday issues, little daily nuances that used to take so little of effort to agree on. I stand numb for a few seconds and then just lose patience so fast whenever I have these useless conversations lately where a word wouldn't reach the others.
Now that I have a job again for a bit more than a month I can see these walls in between so many times. Especially between two of my colleagues, but then we only got new team members this week and the previous. So now that they're there it became obvious for me that they talk but wouldn't listen, not to me, not to each other, not even when it's a simple solution for a small thing.
It's so hard to accept the very fact that filters through all this - that there's no need for communication! People don't care if there's a solution, an answer to what they say, they just talk and wouldn't listen, even if they could find help in the answer. I'm not sure why. Maybe we've lost faith in the others, but we still feel the need to get rid of whatever on our minds. Or it can be blamed on the media that can only make you want things right now, but don't make you think why or if you really need any of it. I wonder where all this goes, and if it is still going anywhere.
