[quote=Anonymous]Conversation is like a game of catch. You have to throw the ball back and forth. When I encounter people who are ball hogs, for example if I am seated next to someone like this at a dinner or stuck talking to them at a cocktail party, my lazy trick is to let them have the ball. I let them talk, I ask questions, and I kind of tune out. If they are such poor conversationalists that they never try to get to know me, I don’t want to waste my time telling them about myself anyways. I’ll also note that 100% of the time, these people only talk about themselves or other people. They never talk about ideas or theories. People who talk about ideas and theories are more likely to be curious about your opinion. Those are my favorite conversations to have with people I don’t know well. They are rare, but so much fun.
