In general, people talk to me a lot… I think because they see me as a good listener, and because I seem genuinely interested in what they have to say. And I am, to a point; but mostly it’s that I’m just not very good at talking about myself.
So I ask questions, keep quiet, and let others do the talking. It usually works out well enough (because most people seem to love to talk about themselves!), but I’d like to be more capable of holding up my end of conversation.
(This doesn’t apply to conversation with friends, family, or anyone I’m familiar with. Talking about something is no problem - and actually enjoyable - but it’s the superficial chit chat that gives me trouble.)
