People like to talk about themselves.

As Bette Midler said in the movie Beaches “Let’s talk about you. What do you think of me?”

Not that folks can’t ask “how was your weekend” and then proceed to hijack the conversion.

This works to your advantage.

Let people talk about themselves.

Encourage it.

Keep asking questions.

Nothing is more addictive than actually encouraging others to go on and on about themselves.

For your personal needs, find a friend who can do the same thing for you.
