[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]During conversations, people who answer questions about themselves, but do not ask questions about you.[/b]

People who do not have the ability to laugh at theirselves- too serious.[/quote]

The flip side of this, though, is people who ask a ton of questions. I’m usually good at asking others about themselves, but know a few people who just go into interviewer mode and I’ll spend an hour with them and realize at the end that I did all the talking simply because they kept asking me stuff. It feels weird because I’ll feel guilty, like I dominated the conversation, but also feel like I never had a chance to steer the conversation away from myself without just declining to answer some of their questions, which feels rude in the moment.[/quote]

My spouse will absolutely create a conversation where if he’s not lecturing about his work or a news article, he is asking you one if his 3-4 canned questions and avoiding any other questions that involve actual thinking or sharing or his thoughts. It’s too difficult to for him to talk about most subjects so he prefer you talk mostly or he steers it to his special interest. He’ll happily ask what you do for a living and hope you talk for an hour and think he’s a nice guy. [/quote]
