Communication between two people is a complex nexus of psychological and discursive interaction. Though I would be skeptical in invoking Nietzsche, as I don’t understand his philosophy well, I am reminded of the idea of the Will to Power, that as humans we are constantly trying to manifest our personality. When we talk, we at least want recognition of the validity of our thoughts and feelings, we want not only to be heard, but recognition that it is okay to voice these thoughts. When we are not heard, we feel ignored or socially marginalized.
