This happens when people start talking about different topics or when someone interrupts the conversation to tell a story or ask a question. Conversation divergence can be beneficial, as it allows people to explore new topics and can often lead to interesting conversations. It can also be detrimental, however, as it can make it difficult to stay on topic and keep the conversation flowing.
