[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is way more introverted than I am. [b]One of the things he does that is off-putting to people is that sometimes when someone tells a story, he comes up with a similar story in an attempt to relate. However, it will come of sometimes as an attempt at one-upping to someone who doesn't know him well. He's trying to look as though he understands, but he won't ask you questions about your story and it looks like he's not listening. [/b]You may want to see if you're doing this too.

Ask questions. Tons of questions. Be willing to let your own stories or contributions go if they no longer are conversationally-relevant.[/quote]

My spouse is the same way, PP. I think he views conversations as his way to share about himself and make connections, but I never hear him ask questions of other people. (He doesn't really have many close friends.)

I second the recommendation to ask questions![/quote]
I do this too, and I really gel with people who do it also. You just need to find the right people. [/quote]
