I don't mean just difficult conversations. I would rather have any conversation in person. Also, I like the fact that the other person doesn't have time or opportunity to edit their thoughts or words. In my opinion, you get the real deal with their true feelings that way.

I guess I'd rather have true facts than true feelings in many cases, particularly in the difficult conversations. I've also found that I get interrupted in many live conversations. If I really want to get something out, the edited version is my best chance. Otherwise, I find myself feeling frustrated that I didn't get to present my side.

For more casual conversations with people who are my friends, the live conversation is nice because there is more communication of the true feelings and stuff. If I just want to experience someone as a friend, nothing beats live. If I need to resolve something, I prefer the more controlled venue. Does that make sense?
